Local people can get involved through growing at home, volunteering at a food project, coming on a training course, or attending one of the community food events.
The project has helped thousands of people across the city grow their own food through training and volunteering and has been able to support and inspire a growing network of community gardens across the city which now includes 60 spaces.
