Gryffe Growing Grounds

An independent project under Creating a Sustainable Gryffe, Gryffe Growing Grounds has evolved from Houston Community Growing Associations.

After learning about community growing, understanding the land, exploring what is possible and working through the practicalities of establishing a community growing project, Gryffe Growing Grounds is now ready for the next steps from this solid foundation.

We want to create a project that is rooted in our village and shaped by the people who live here.

At the heart of Gryffe Growing Grounds is a simple belief: our local land has value beyond its potential for development. We want to see our green spaces protected and cared for, and we want to explore ways that our land can actively give something back to the community and vice versa. 

We believe that means growing food, creating opportunities to learn and volunteer, connecting people with nature, supporting wellbeing, encouraging biodiversity, and simply providing a place where people can come together.

Please get in touch to find out more and to tell us what you’d like to see happen! You might have an idea, a skill to share or simply want to see our village become greener and more connected.
