We are a volunteer-centred growing project with a mission to get Eastbourne growing!
In our first year, our community plot grew, gathered, and donated a remarkable 1.7 tonnes of food. This year, we’ve already surpassed that, growing over 2 tonnes! We want to show our community how easy it is to cultivate nutritious, home grown vegetables.
Join our network of food growers, the “Rooted Legends”. Grow at home and get support through our online community of growers. Enjoy your wonderful homegrown veg, share it with friends and family – and if you have any surplus, why not donate it to your nearest community fridge?!
