Calling all residents in the Chagford area that have gardens, plots of land or orchards that are underused, or neglected possibly due to a lack of time, interest, or physical mobility. There are local residents who have no access to land and who would love the chance to grow their own food, herbs and flowers.
With food shortages, rising prices and the overall question of our future food security, this is an ideal opportunity to start a garden /land share scheme in Chagford. This is a local initiative linking up people with unused “plots” on their garden or land with committed growers.
Get Involved
If you want your unloved plot to grow cabbages, connections – even friends! The benefits for the garden owners include a share of the produce, the pleasure of seeing a lovely developing vegetable plot and being part of a sharing, growing community.
Sowing the seedsIf you want the chance to grow tasty veggies and vastly reduce the cost and food miles involved in your food or if you have a garden/land plot that you would like to offer to a local grower, then please contact Susan for more information on 01647 432309 or email chagfordlandshare@gmail.com
