Growing edge is a recently set up not for profit organisation dedicated to the following principles-
- enabling people to reconnect with each other and the land through activities including land based volunteering opportunities, courses and community gardening,
- regenerating land in order to promote biodiversity, sustainable food and herbal medicine
growing, and human-nature connection, - providing access to land for other groups by working with land owners to make natural
spaces available and accessable, - empowering people to improve their physical/mental health and wellbeing, helping to
counteract inactivity, isolation and loneliness, - promoting the learning of skills for resilience in the face of climate change, including
food growing, sustainable land use, permaculture, environmental education, connection
& co-operation, - making these things accessible to minority/disadvantaged groups including refugees and asylum seekers, single parents, people on low incomes and those
who would otherwise find it hard to access interactive natural environments and learn
new skills.
