Sow the City gave our residents,
who were involved in the
Chippenham Road Community
Garden, the skills and expertise
to feel confident in starting to grow
their own produce.
We believe that everyone
should have access to a
garden where they can grow
and eat their own produce.
What other public service can
bring people together, and
provide educational
opportunities, physical
activity, stress reduction and
locally sourced fresh food?

Sow the City has helped in the creation and restoration
of more than 100 community gardens in and around
Manchester. We work with community groups, local
authorities and housing providers to develop a project
from vacant plot to thriving community garden project.
•
Sow the City will consult with your community group
to determine which garden project works for them.
We can then help to establish any necessary group
structures and constitutions.
•
Soil tests and vegetation surveys determine what
will grow best on your site and we can create a site
plan so that you know what will be planted where.
•
Sow the City have experience in addressing legal
issues such as land leases and health and safety
procedures.
•
We will help to spread the word and promote your
project to the wider community.
•
We will monitor and evaluate the progress of your
project so that you can keep track of your successes
and where you could improve.
