Our story
Grow 73 is a charity aiming to help people of all ages and abilities to grow their own produce, learn how to lead more sustainable lives and support local biodiversity. We aim to advance education in relation to gardening, local food growing, healthy eating, composting, and matters relating to the environment, biodiversity and living more sustainably.
We are increasing the biodiversity of the local area and have created a bee line, which runs around the local community with nectar rich plants to increase pollinators. By working with schools, churches and community centres, everyone has been able to give back to the the community.
We host an annual Buzz Fest event, a festival built around celebrating our communities, bringing people together and raising awareness about the challenges our pollinator numbers face due to climate change, habitat loss and chemical use. This year (2023), supported by the CamGlen network, saw our biggest ever turn out with just over 900 people in attendance!
Our advice
Work together to create a sustainability strategy and build upon that within your community and organisation.
Our Changeprint
Our Changeprint can be measured by the boost in local biodiversity, community food growing and healthy eating.
