I CAN GROW
Our Growing Family
The Acorn Farm, I Can Grow project, each year mentors 200 households on how to grow their own fruit and veg over an 18-month period. Delivered by The Conservation Volunteers, those involved are encouraged to take up tools and learn the basics of food production at home.
Households are given everything they need to grow food at home, learning from horticultural experts to begin the creation of a more sustainable food system throughout the city & district.
The project brings together young and old – from the little ones who are passionate about doing their bit for the environment, to those who wish to pass on their experience to the next generation.
Natural World Products supports the programme by providing compost to each participant. Natural World Product’s compost is made using discarded household organics from within their own local communities, perfectly representing a truly local circular economy in action.
