With the UK's second biggest city in Birmingham and plenty of other big urban areas, the West Midlands is an important region for SF&G and community growing in the UK.
See below for a map view or list of Social Farms & Gardens members in this region, as well as local news, events and case studies. Meanwhile, there are lots of useful information resources available for West Midlands farmers, gardeners and growers on our Resources page.
