Grow Cheshunt Community Project

Online Community Visioning Workshop

Grow Cheshunt is a community project, set up through the principles of permaculture to inspire more sustainable, creative and inclusive ways of living.

Set up by 3 Cheshunt residents who felt we can do better than we currently are, in terms of respect for our environment and local community.

We do the best we can, with what we have.
By sharing our ideas, opening our minds to others and building a network of like minded people, we have begun to build a community base; which we aim to expand in coming months, years.

Our environmental philosophy is at the core of what we do but through working outside of the community we connect with others who we might not meet otherwise.

We now have a shed at our allotment which means me can accommodate people in the unpredictable weather!
A place where people can enjoy being with nature, learn skills, grow food, and encourage a happier, healthier lifestyle.

We hold open days, inviting the local community to meet, enjoy nature and also help with certain tasks around the allotment space. We will also be opening up areas of the allotment for different groups in the community to maintain this year.

Through our own skills, skills of others and the generosity of the local community, we now host an open mic, comedy and swap shop once a month, all free of charge.

We are constantly looking to connect people and groups in the borough, and take everything in our stride.

Hertfordshire Year of Culture 2020 will generate a test bed for the Arts in our Borough and we can't be more excited to explore this area of our work with our community!
