Welcome to

Norton Growing Space C.I.C is a community-led growing project offering allotments and communal growing areas. Rooted in the belief that soil, seeds and shared effort can strengthen wellbeing, rebuild connection and restore a sense of belonging. A community crop is being planted in the field this spring via ‘1000 seeds project’ and growing spaces will be available to rent from Autumn 2026.
