About Us

Grow Together Bucks is a Community Interest Company (CIC) limited by guarantee. In other words, we are a ‘not for profit’ organisation. We were founded in 2020 to benefit local residents in South Bucks. We aim to support residents from all backgrounds, but specifically those in greatest need. 

​

In spring 2020, we inherited an overgrown allotment at Back Lane. With the help of our community gardeners, we transformed the plot into a 300m2 growing space with a greenhouse, compost and potting area and patio near the river edge.

​

​Our objectives are:

• To enhance the lives of individuals

• Engage with local businesses

• Improve biodiversity 

• Protect the environment. 

​

We achieve these by:

• Facilitating community volunteering and collaboration

• Helping people understand the importance of their source of food and the role that a good diet plays in general wellbeing

• Enabling our volunteer gardeners to grow and harvest produce

• Providing volunteers with home-grown fruit and veg which they can incorporate into their diet

• Involving community gardeners in the design, planning, growing cycles, harvesting, storing and cooking of produce

• Promoting the reduction of food waste by donating any spare produce to the local foodbank (and encouraging other allotment tenants to do the same)

• Providing practical growing programmes for local Primary, Secondary and SEND (Special Educational Needs) schools

• Teaching pupils the importance of soil, the seasons, biodiversity and compost ecology

• Working with companies to meet their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments

• Partnering with other local organisations who complement our aims/objectives
