Ideas to Action: Starting a Community Growing Project

Got an idea for a community growing project, but don’t know where to start? This webinar is for you! During the session we’ll be introducing some simple tools you can use, to help you move from ideas to action.

We’ll be covering…

• The value of having a clear vision
• Starting with your strengths - community asset mapping
• Getting to know your project space
• Dreaming big, but starting small – the power of micro actions

We’re also delighted to be joined by Tracy Brook from Friends of Kelly Avenue Park, London, and Fran Ware from St Mark's Community Garden, Liverpool, who will be sharing their experiences of getting started with their projects.

Further reading and resources

We have created two free worksheet resources to support this webinar, that you can download and print. You don’t need to have copies of these to hand for the session, but we hope they will be useful tools for you to use afterwards, to continue planning your project.

  This sheet helps you define your project vision, identify resources and support already available in your community, and get started with some small, confidence building actions.
   
• Get to know your project space worksheet 
  This sheet guides you through a simple site survey, to help you learn more about your growing space before you start making major changes.
