More Info

Join a Bountiful Bristol Grow It Together Workshop at Alderman Moore Roundhouse for coffee, cake and conversation.

Collecting surplus vegetables and donating is fantastic. However, what if we could go a step further?

Grow it Forward

Rather than simply donating the excess produce that is inevitably produced at harvest times (think hundreds of courgettes turning to marrow every summer!) What if we could plant intentionally for donation to community food projects around the city? ‘Grow it Forward’ is a concept that means people plant and grow vegetables intentionally to share with their wider community.

We will work collaboratively to generate momentum for growing intentionally for food collection.

Is this workshop for me?

If you are interested in Social Justice, Food Justice, Climate Crisis, and generating a greater sense of Wellbeing in our local Communities, then come along and become part of the work. Please send an email to bountifulbris@gmail.com to express your interest.

Other Bountiful Bristol highlights

We have been supporting a ‘Growing Together’ group in partnership with BS3 Community and Hotwells & District Allotments Association. Members of food projects and allotment tenants have been looking after spaces in a community polytunnel and outside plot. People have shared the positive impact this has had on wellbeing and we have noticed a good increase in the amount of food we can share!

In addition to our established donation pathways, this year Bountiful Bristol has supported five new growing partnerships  This was largely a result of the connections and relationships formed at our ‘Returning to the Soil’ event. Bountiful Bristol will be collating data on how has been shared soon. If you have made any donations, please record them HERE.
