West Chesterton Good Food Neighbourhood

 

GROWING PROJECTS

  • There are two ways you can apply for an allotment in your neighbourhood. You can either apply through Cambridge City Council for a plot on one of the allotments they manage or apply for a plot which is ran by a local allotment society. Visit Cambridge Allotments Network to find your closest allotment.

  • Growing Spaces is ran by Transition Cambridge, aiming to reclaim unloved and underused public spaces around the city and transform them into edible landscapes. Find out more about how to get involved in your local growing space here.

  • Chesterton Garden Club is a sociable and informative group for anyone with enthusiasm for all things green.
