Community Growing Network

Thu, 20/08/2009 - 11:00 — editor


A new group based in Salford with the aims of increasing the networking of growing groups in Salford.

This group is starting to recruit groups. We are using this space to help map the different growing projects in Salford and the surrounding area. 

There are also plans to work with Salford University and the local community to help increase relationships and share resources both human and otherwise.  Some of the currently active groups are St Sebastian's Community Centre, Sreaming Green and Groundwork.
