Following its success last year, our 'Field to Fork' grant scheme is back! The scheme provides grants of up to £2,000 to community farms, allotments and gardens to help local people with 'grow and eat' projects that will feed communities and help people stay active and connected. One of the recipients of a Field to Fork grant last year was Wild About Campsea (pictured below), an informal group of wildlife-friendly gardening enthusiasts who live in Campsea Ashe. Formed after the Covid-19 pandemic, the group encourages residents of the village to improve biodiversity in their gardens at the same time as growing their own food. They work with Campsea Ashe Parish Council and have established a demonstration community garden on the village recreation ground. The group aims to increase biodiversity, food resilience and community cohesion, as well as promoting the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.
