ABOUT US
.png)
We are Project Grow CIC - a community urban food + farming collective growing people, places and products for healthier communities.
We believe that food has the power to transform lives, strengthen communities and reconnect people with nature. Through our work, we design, build and care for urban food-growing spaces, deliver Social & Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) programmes, and develop social enterprises that create lasting social, environmental and economic impact.
We grow People
As qualified Social & Therapeutic Horticulture practitioners, we create safe, welcoming and inclusive environments where people can improve their health and wellbeing, learn new skills, build confidence and connect with others through growing food.
We grow Places
We design and create vibrant community gardens, school growing spaces, festival installations and public environments that bring people together through food, nature and shared experiences. We also work with organisations and local authorities to develop places that improve wellbeing, biodiversity and community life.
We grow Products
As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), we grow seasonal produce and plug plants for our local community while developing social enterprise initiatives that help fund our work. These include Social Source, Gloucester Soup and other collaborative products that celebrate local food and create positive social impact.
Whether you're looking to volunteer, improve your wellbeing, commission a project or collaborate with us, we'd love to hear from you.
Visit us
Visit us every Tuesday morning at our main growing hub Gloucestershire Heritage Hub, Clarence Row, Alvin Street, Gloucester GL1 3DW
Social Source
Award-winning social impact products grown and made in Gloucester. Social Source makes handcrafted sauces and chutneys that taste incredible and do something more.
Everything we produce is grown, cooked, and packed in Gloucester using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and traditional small-batch methods. No additives. No preservatives. No shortcuts.
Every jar sold puts profits back into the hands of our community partners creating real, paid opportunities for vulnerable, marginalised, and disabled people through growing and cooking.
Upcoming Events
