Description

GROFUN is a beautifully simple idea with a beautifully silly name. GROFUN stands for 'Growing Real organic food in Urban Neighbourhoods' and coordinates groups of neighbours in communities to cooperatively grow food in their own back gardens, sharing labour, skills, resources and last but not least-the delcious home-grown produce itself!

We hope to make 'Many Hands' a repicable model which can be adopted by more communities in the future and give the people at the grass roots the power back to sustain themselves and their families with healthy, fresh food in an ever more energy-scarce future.

GROFUN addresses the damaging effects of air freighted produce, over-packaging and the question of what is truly 'fresh'.

GROFUN is running an educational pilot currently running gardening workshops with children in two Bristol Primary Schools. We are looking to work with several more Primary Schools in Sep 09 and are keen to hear from anyone regarding this.

'Buzz words' for the GROFUN scheme are Peak Oil, Relocalization, community empowerment, education, friends, skills re-learning,exercise relaxation and fun!

Get Growing; Have Fun!
