We grow fruit, herbs and vegetables for everyone to share all around Todmorden. We also run a wide range of events that help strengthen the local community.
We champion other great local causes and help out whenever we can. Either with people power or finances. It’s not just about gardening!
We’re particularly proud of three local initiatives, the Makery and the Tool Library and the little libraries. Installed during the pandemic, they were built and decorated by local craftspeople and artists and filled by kindness.
We also support local businesses at every opportunity and always try to procure locally.
We help make our town cleaner with regular litter picking and we look after our canal towpath and we are growing a network of local, like-minded activists.
We support and advise other groups, activists and students across the UK and the world and offer guided tours and talks. Contact us to book either!
At our gardening Sundays, we provide a tasty meal and this is available to anyone, whether you’ve volunteered with us or not. It’s important to us to provide a safe space for members of our community who may be new to the area, wobbly, lonely, as well as those who just want to get stuck in and garden!
We have no paid staff, no buildings and no public funding. We like to think this is radical community building in action!
Our motto is, ‘if you eat, you’re in!’
