We collaborate with volunteers to grow food to help tackle food insecurity and champion food justice in our local area
Lush Greens is a flourishing community market garden (small vegetable farm) in Hengrove, Bristol. We are a not-for-profit social enterprise, who collaborate with volunteers from our local community to collectively help tackle food insecurity and champion food justice in our local area. The veg we grow together goes to local food poverty charities, such as InHope's Foodbanks, other community groups including Redcatch Community Garden and The Mazi Project, a few local shops and restaurants, and to members of our Community Veg Box Scheme using a pay-what-you-can-afford model.
We run regular volunteer days, open days and seasonal festivals. This year we are delivering an Introduction to Horticulture training for people in recovery, which is part of our work to deliver Green Social Prescribing to help improve peoples' physical, mental annd emotional wellbeing.
We work the land and grow vegetables using no-dig and organic principles that improve the health of soil, plants and people: increasing biodiversity in and above the soil; capturing carbon; and creating healthy ecosystems. Through nature friendly farming techniques we aim to regenerate the health of the land we work on and the community we work with.
