Roots and Shoots
Growing food and community go hand in hand. Roots & Shoots supports this hands-on energy – bringing people together to share skills, improve soil health, grow for biodiversity and make Cheltenham’s allotments, community gardens and private spaces more productive and resilient.
Grow Your Own Cheltenham
Grow Your Own Cheltenham is a community-led project helping people across Cheltenham to grow their own food, share knowledge and build confidence in nature-friendly growing.
What we do
- Help connect growers, allotment holders and any growing space across Cheltenham to share knowledge and skills.
- Run practical workshops and demonstrations (e.g. seed sowing, soil health, composting)
- Share knowledge between experienced growers and beginners
- Host community events on allotments and in local growing spaces
- Provide ongoing support through online groups
The focus is on simple, sustainable growing methods that support healthy soil, wildlife and productive plots.
