OUR PROJECTS

We currently manage six projects that help our community in different ways. However, we’re always on the lookout for new and creative ways to connect members of our community with nature, with food and with each other, so our projects can evolve and change in response to the needs of local people. Find out more about what’s currently keeping us busy below.

GROUNDED GROWERS

Our community outreach team, offering a raised bed installation service, supporting people to grow fruit and veg in their own back gardens, on patios or in workspaces.

GROUNDED BEE'ZZ

Wherever we grow plants, we need pollinators – and bees are the best creatures for the job. We look after bee colonies on the roof of the Sovereign Centre and in our Nursery Garden in Boscombe.

GROUNDED GATHERERS

Preserving, pickling, cooking, dehydrating and storing surplus fruit and veg from gardens, public spaces and supermarkets.

SECRET GARDENS

Our skills & learning hubs with chickens, an outdoor kitchen and a huge variety of fruit and veg looked after by a team of volunteers. Here we hold workshops, community meals, playgroups and events.

FEED OUR COMMUNITY

Collecting, sorting and distributing locally grown and supermarket surplus food to the right places and the right people – those who really need it.

COMMUNITY COMPOSTING

We transform food waste from local businesses into nutritious compost using our 700 litre rocket composter on the roof of the Sovereign Centre in Boscombe.
