Transition Stratford Garden Share

Transition Stratford's Garden Share scheme works by introducing garden owners with unused or unmanageable plots with people who would love to grow their own food but don't have access to a garden or allotment. The matching process is managed by a team of volunteers, who interview owners and would-be growers separately to identify their needs and requirements and iron out questions of access and privacy before introducing potential sharers to each other. Once a match is achieved, the parties are asked to sign a simple agreement which sets out how the sharing arrangement will work. The Garden Share team is available to help sort out any problems once a sharing arrangement is up and running, and help is also available for novice growers from more experienced vegetable gardeners.
