ABOUT US

We are Project Grow CIC - a community urban food + farming collective. We design, build and run urban food-based spaces as Social and Therapeutic Horticulture practitioners. We create safe, supportive environments that connect people through food, health and community wellbeing and change urban food systems for the better.

As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), we grow food + plug plants for our community, we run social & therapeutic horticulture (STH) sessions, run campaigns, develop practical learning resources, and have created social enterprise initiatives including Social Source and Gloucester Soup.

Alongside this, we offer services as consultants to design and deliver community gardens, festival installations, school growing spaces and pop-up environments—creating welcoming, interactive spaces where people can come together through food, nature and shared experience.

You can find us every Tuesdays & Fridays at our main hub at the Gloucestershire Heritage Hub, Clarence Row Alvin St, Gloucester GL1 3DW.
