How to find or start a neighbourhood group

If there's a group near you, we can put you in touch. If there is no group nearby, why not start one?


Starting a group is as simple as taking a stroll in your area, identifying like-minded neighbours by things like veg or fruit plantings, non-lawn verges, solar panels or native gardens. Note the addresses then make some calling cards or introductory notes. (See sample below) On a day and time when you think people will be home and not too busy, introduce yourself, give your

card and start talking gardens. If they are out or you feel a little shy,leave your note and maybe even a homegrown gift.  People are generally very happy to have their gardens appreciated and quick to see the advantages of meeting new like-minded neighbours. 

Once your budding group is up and running, let us know so we can put you into our network.
