GROW ZONES - GETTING YOUR COMMUNITY GROWING
Grow Zones - Getting Your Community Growing
Grow Zones is a community growing project bringing help and inspiration to your garden, wonderful food to your table and adding friendship and purpose to your life.
A Grow Zones team clubs together to share skills, tools and produce to eliminate food miles. A team of households come together and take turns to visit one another's gardens for a morning, carry out tasks that the household has planned and finish with a shared lunch.
It is a great project for churches and community groups wanting to nurture local community and deepen their mission and community presence. It provides an exciting way to engage with your wider neighbourhood and helps bring people together, connecting them to environmental issues in new ways.
Each Grow Zone team is set up by a local facilitator, who is resourced by the Grow Zones Kit, which provides all that is needed to get a team growing.
For more information and to start a team, visit www.growzones.com

"Amazingly, in less than 3 hours, the garden was transformed"
"I just love Grow Zones. It provides enjoyment and a sense of achievement and hospitality. It's been great fun and for us, has been a source of encouragement and learning"

About the Sheffield Diocesan Environmental Group
Sheffield Diocesan Environmental Group exists to encourage Churches and individual Christians across the diocese of Sheffield to care for the Environment that God has entrusted to us.
Our aim is that the Diocese of Sheffield should be seen as a key partner in protecting and sustaining the environment by the other environmental organizations in the region.
We will achieve this by supporting churches and individuals in reflecting on God’s purpose for Creation and taking life-changing action which will improve our stewardship of the environment.
We have regular meetings to organize activities and enjoy fellowship. Would you like to be part of the group? Contact Mike Gilbert to find out more Telephone 0114 281 9360 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
