Our Growers

Our Growers are a small group of dedicated volunteers who grow a variety of vegetables and fruits, all of which are donated to our local food bank.

We rely on the generous support of our community—whether financial, practical, or through volunteering—especially during the busy summer months. No gardening experience is needed to get involved; but if you do have gardening skills or can drive, that’s a real bonus.

Currently, we meet on Mondays and Thursdays, and we’re always happy to welcome new hands to help our work thrive.

    “I was a complete beginner at growing vegetables and having learned so much in this first season. It’s is so satisfying being able to produce beauty vegetables for the food bank. Very often no fresh food is provided by Food Banks or is offered approaching its sell by date. Whereas we harvest our veg and deliver within half an hour. I have made new friends and enjoy the whole experience of working with others and learning from them. We also have a lot of fun.”

    “It is great to be involved in such a worthwhile and essential project. We also get so much from it: friendship, enjoying outdoors space and valuable learning experience. It’s a win-wins here”
