Birmingham Food Growers NEED YOU!

On the 16^th March food growing projects across Birmingham will be opening their doors, gates and sheds to locals in order to introduce you to their sites, start the growing year and get help from volunteers to complete a range of activities (tree planting, seed sowing, soil preparation and MORE!).  Across the city, 26 sites have signed up so far….more on the way.

If you want to find out what’s happening there are lots of projects signing up http://bigdig.org.uk/Birmingham and offering lots of exciting activities and events for volunteers and locals. VOLUNTEERS WHO FILL OUT A REWARD CARD OF VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES WILL BE ENTERED INTO A PRIZE DRAW!

NOT A GARDENER? – WE NEED PHOTOGRAPHERS AND COORDINATORS TO HELP US MAKE THIS HAPPEN. If you’re a photographer and would like your pictures published online or possibly in print then please get in touch with Chris or Clare on the emails below.

If you’re a project and you want to open up your grow site on the 16^th March (or around) then get in touch with Chris ([email protected]) or Clare ([email protected]) and we’ll answer any questions you may have.

If you have an event already planned then please go straight to http://bigdig.org.uk/Birmingham/add and fill in the details.
