ABOUT

Global Gardens Project is a community growing project based in Cardiff.

Our vision is to create a growing space that supports community-based sharing of food and cultures.

We have an allotment site where we are cultivating an organic kitchen garden, celebrating crops from around the world.

The crops grown are used in community meals and shared within the local community, mainly amongst volunteers at the Volunteer Garden Sessions.

We host twice-weekly volunteer sessions, monthly forest school sessions, regular Making and Mending sessions and a range of workshops and courses.
