Transition Town Exmouth would love to get a Garden Share project going. This aims to put owners of unloved, or underused gardens in contact with people who want to garden and grow their own food, but don’t have access to a space.
It’s a win win situation, the gardener gets access to a piece of land (bypassing the ever growing queue for allotments) where they can grown their own vegetables and fruit. The garden owner gets to look at a well maintained vegetable plot and share in some of the produce, as well as being part of a sharing/community initiative.
How it works - The gardener and garden owner meet and discuss individually the best way to share the space and lay out some guidelines about what this involves; e.g. access, the sharing of produce, and importantly emphasise that it’s not a free garden service and the plot is only for growing produce.
We are looking for someone to take this project forward. It is very likely we may be able to raise funds to drive this project forwards but we need someone with enthusiasm and time to start this off. We have both gardens and gardeners - all we need is someone to make the difference. Could it be you? If you think you might be able help, contact Pete on 224605 for a chat.
