DESCRIPTION
Leith Community Growers was created to develop community growing opportunities in Leith. It is constituted as an association, and has a steering group of local residents. They are developing a Manifesto for the association and would love new members to help us shape ideas and projects and will be hosting community meetings (online at the moment) to get organised.
We believe everybody should have access to the resources needed to grow their own food for their families and community if they choose to and we aim to support and enable community-based projects to make locally grown produce available to all.
We aim to create a food growing community in Leith which is inclusive of all sections of the community regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability or any other identifying factors, and in particular those who may feel under-represented in such community groups, such as people of Black and ethnic minority backgrounds and those for whom English is an additional language.
We seek to remove the barriers to participation by providing free access to materials where possible and encouraging mutual support such as seed swapping and resource sharing
