Land to Share

For anyone who is looking for or has land to share to grow food and lives in the UK, Australia or Canada might like to take a look at the Landshare website

[QUOTE from their website] Landshare brings together people who have a passion for home-grown food, connecting those who have land to share with those who need land for cultivating food. Since its launch through River Cottage in 2009 it has grown into a thriving community of more than 65,000 growers, sharers and helpers.

It’s for people who:

* Want to grow their own fruit and veg but don’t have anywhere to do it
* Have a spare bit of land they’re prepared to share
* Can help in some way – from sharing knowledge and lending tools to helping out on the plot itself
* Support the idea of freeing up more land for growing
* Are already growing and want to join in the community

It began with the tiny seed of an idea – and it’s growing and growing.

This is an awesome, why don't they do this in the US? :(

Not sure why it's not in America, perhaps you could send them an email and ask.

Hey Sally, here's a link for a similar thing in America - http://gardensharing.com/categories/garden...n_united_states I didn't check it out, so I'm not sure if it's any use or not?

In the US, it's usually community gardens. They tend to have really long waiting lists.
