Important information
We know that you may not have any prior experience of food growing, so we’ll help you to plan and construct growing areas, and support you in planting, looking after and harvesting your new crops.
The minimum area required for this package is 215 square metres. All items are supplied as a package – it is not possible to remove items. The variety of trees and plants supplied will depend on the season and availability.
Please make sure you read our frequently asked questions (FAQs) before applying. This is a large-scale project, so it’s vital that you understand the space and volunteer commitment needed. It’s also really important that you know what information and evidence you need to provide before starting your application. This is the best way of boosting your chances of being successful and getting hold of a Food Garden Package.
We have three regional coordinators on hand to support you with your Local Places for Nature application. Just drop them an email.
