Grow For Crisis

This Spring, Grow For Crisis and you can help end homelessness.

Whether you have a garden, a window box or a couple of pots, no space is too small to start growing. Try salad leaves, chilli plants, and radishes to see your hard work rewarded quickly, or sunflowers to brighten every day. Veg, herbs, flowers and everything in between all count!

Set up your own campaign for Crisis and you can:

  • Get sponsored to take on a green-fingered challenge, such as beating your friends to grow the most tomatoes in a month (and raise the most donations in doing so!)
  • Host a virtual gardening lesson and share your skills with others and link to your campaign if anyone wants to donate 
  • Share your campaign with friends, family, and gardening or allotment groups.

To celebrate the organiser of the campaign which raises the most for Crisis, they will win the opportunity to learn from vegetable gardener (and ‘no dig’ gardening guru) Charles Dowding, with free access to his online course ‘From Seed to Harvest’, in which he shares a lifetime’s worth of tips and tricks for growing 15 key vegetables.

The campaign which has raised the most will be announced after the campaign finishes on 20th June.
