New grow your own food project in Levenshulme

Hello

I work for a not-for-profit organisation called Sow the City that's just setting up in Levenshulme to help people grow their own food. We've recently received start up funding from Unltd (Lottery funding).

The funding is for a project to be delivered in the Levenshulme area from April - June and we've committed ourselves to helping 20 households grow their own food in their unused outdoor areas (gardens, yards, windowsills etc.). We provide advice and training to people on how to grow food but also supply growing equipment such as ‘raised beds’, compost, soil and seeds. Some of our start up funding will also be spent on a website, premises (hopefully behind the antiques village), and a basic growing guide.

I would be happy to meet and talk about this project and what your involved in. Alternatively I can send you more information about the project to circulate round your mailing list.

Kind Regards
