Cornwall Community Food and Composting Project
This is a three year project, funded by the Big Lottery Fund's Local Food Scheme, that breaks down food growing and composting into easy and practical steps by supporting people to grow food and compost at home in containers or in their gardens. It also supports six groups setting up their own community garden project. The aim is to make fresh, organic produce more easily accessible to people throughout Cornwall.
