Growing Club on Somerford Grove

Through weekly ‘Growing Clubs’ and a micro-allotment project, residents young and old have been learning to grow, care for and harvest fresh seasonal produce on their doorsteps. Since 2009 over 200 people have taken part, improving the health of our community by: - Being outside and being active. - Learning about where food comes from, how it grows and how to eat healthily. - Eating free fruit, vegetables and herbs that have been planted by residents. - Beautifying our public spaces. - Visiting new areas of the estate and making new friends. - Getting involved with the Tenants and Residents Association and planning more projects.
