Broomhouse Growers are a group of residents with a goal to create and maintain a ‘community food hub’ project by and for local people in a way that brings local folk together in a positive, supportive outdoor space.

What started as a small community garden of 10 growers has turned into an integral part of the community, with such abundant harvests (helped along by a polytunnel and lots of enthusiasm from gardeners) that the group have frequently set-up a market stall to give away produce to the community! They also donate food to local foodbanks, the Space café, and share among themselves.

In late 2022-early 2023 work began to develop a second site to compliment the garden, and the group have transformed a once grassy, empty space into a thriving Community Orchard.

The group are always on the look out for new members – no need to be a gardening expert as all training and tools are provided!

Fun Fact: Several members of the group are very talented in the kitchen, which makes for some fantastic sides and desserts at garden BBQs, featuring lots of produce from the garden of course!
