It’s 3 years since we started our food growing journey at the Eco Hub!
We had over 30 people join us at the start, planting rows of potatoes and onions in the corner of a field – so much has changed since then!
Over the past three years, our community veg garden has produced many kilos of organic vegetables and herbs — a lot grown from heritage seeds, all shared freely with the people who helped grow them and with local food larders and food sharing projects across the area.
In a world of ultra-processed food and fragile supply chains, there’s something quietly radical about putting your hands in good soil and growing real food together.
We’d love more people to join us. Whether you can spare an hour a week or a full season, your help directly strengthens our community’s food resilience — one seed at a time.
Come grow with us at Blackdown Hills Eco Hub. No experience needed — just a willingness to dig in.
You’re welcome to come along whenever you wish from 14-16:30 hrs. on Wednesdays and 11-13:00 hrs. on Saturdays.
