Norwich FarmShare is a community supported agriculture scheme providing delicious seasonal, organic vegetables to their members at a weekly Hub in Norwich. Their vision is for a fair and sustainable food system that roots a healthy resilient community in the land and to each other.
The Group now want to further consult on the feasibility study and are holding a community gathering on Sunday 11th December, between 3pm and 6pm at the Friends Meeting House, Upper Goat Lane, Norwich.

Tips for community gardening:
• Join with like-minded neighbours who’ll commit time to the project and keep the momentum going.
• Start off small – sharing a few packets of seeds and swapping a bit of growing advice.
• Don’t be afraid to knock on doors – there’s a real appetite to grow vegetables and to get to know those who live around you.
• Funding is important. Look online for national awarding bodies for community projects. Approach local businesses for sponsorship, and seed companies for free or discounted seeds.
• Record your activities to demonstrate to funders and others how great your project is. And start a blog: mytinyplot.com/build-a-blog/ has a great “build your own blog” tutorial.
• Grow what you love to eat. With space (and time) at a premium, plump for fruit and veg you’ll find truly delicious.
