Have you only got a small space to grow food, or would like to fill a niche in your garden with some more edible plants?
Everything we grow at home helps to reduce food miles, food waste and give us wonderful fresh, tasty and nutritious food.
For the planet
Even in a small space, there is so much food we can grow quite simply. It’s actually a very important thing to be doing as a practical and positive response to the climate emergency. All the global facts we are facing can be overwhelming, and while you alone cannot solve the world’s problems, you can make a difference in your home and community and set off positive ripple effects. Urban agriculture, growing food in the city, is a rapidly increasing global trend that absolutely needs to happen ad what you do in your backyard can be part of this growing movement.
For you
There’s also something incredibly soul-nourishing about gardening, harvesting and sharing a meal of homegrown food. Gardening is so good for our physical and emotional well-being, and we can be growing nutritionally-dense food that we can grow for ourselves and our family, right at our door.
Learn some simple tips for getting the most out of your small space – to create a productive and beautiful tiny kitchen garden, that reduces your impact and increases ecological habitat, too.
