The Haven Plot and the ‘Learning & Growing Together’ Grow Your Own courses came to fruition in May 2022. In partnership with One Seed Forward we received funding from the Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund to run two free Grow Your Own courses.

The Haven Plot is a garden on the beachfront, it has a greenhouse and outdoor growing area, plus a stunning seaview. The Plot is the teaching site for free GYO courses. Our Haven Harvester Francesca taught two courses in 2022 and another one in April 2023. . Food grown at the Plot is used in the Community Larder.

Future ideas for the Haven Plot:

Continue to run more free Grow Your Own courses.
Grow more fruit and veg in the Plot for the Community Larder.
Cook healthy meals in our cooking classes from produce grown in the Plot.
Connect with more individuals and organisations and inspire them to get growing.
