learning, teaching, sharing over 5 acres in the heart of Kent

Learning, Teaching, Sharing new opportunities in food, farming and environment care

Our education centre is taking shape. With over 5 acres of land leased from East Malling Research available for our use as a charity providing educational opportunities free of charge to schools and groups in Kent.



Communigrow is all about food and farming. This season our garden (more a field) shall give over 100 students of all ages and abilities new facilities for growing and experiencing nature. As a charity (registered Charity 1159534) and with our dedicated team of volunteer gardeners our aim to provide a broad scope of experience from growing vegetables and craft produce such as hops and herbs to creating new habitat for wildlife and caring for the planet with low carbon, zero pollutant techniques.

We welcome new partners to expand from our 12 students and 20 local volunteers who currently benefit and may have facilities for up to 60 students or more over 10 sessions per week.

One of our new projects to to match Chelsea Flower Show with our own 'show gardens. These are pocket gardens created by each school or group and are built-up over time to reflect the interests and abilities of the session members and for further information to get details on how we may include your school or group email us at pocket@communigrow.org

We need funds to create our education centre.

Our target is £24,000 and this will enable us to run sessions to benefit over 100 students of all ages and abilities each month.

£50 will enable us to include conservation in all our sessions. £100 gives us the ability to include one new 2 hour group session for 6 students. Other amounts will mean we may run up to 10 two hour sessions per week on site and additionally mean we may provide workshops and demonstration sessions within schools and groups in the community.
