Gardeners Wanted!

Adopt-A-Garden scheme- a popular local initiative which was launched a couple of years ago on the Island, is seeking more would-be gardeners in the Cowes Area. The project finds growing spaces for the hundreds of people who are on the allotment waiting lists or who would just like a bigger garden to grow their own vegetables.

No money exchanges and everybody involved is police (CRB) checked. Those who would like to join the scheme, but have no experience of gardening can now have training thanks to funding received from the Big Lottery Local Food Programme by the Footprint Trust. If you would like to ’adopt’ a garden near you and possibly share the produce with the garden owner then get in touch with the Footprint Trust (don@footprint-trust.co.uk),
