Welcome to communityhorticulture.co.uk

This website has been designed to celebrate community horticulture in all its many and varied forms.

From community orchards to guerilla gardening, community horticulture projects are springing up across our communities and changing the way people live their lives. Ordinary people are doing extraordinary things and often with nothing more sophisticated than a packet of seeds and lots of good intentions.

Many projects are small grass roots initiatives whilst others attract the support of local authorities and housing associations. Whatever their origin they all seek to use horticulture to empower individuals and communities.

Communityhorticulture.co.uk has been designed to celebrate this work and help individuals and communities develop the community horticulture project that’s right for their community.

It’s often the smallest actions that provoke the greatest change, so why not start cultivating your community today.
