For generations, growers saved their best seeds and passed them on. Today most of us buy new packets every year, and a lot of knowledge has quietly gone with it.

It's not complicated, but there's a little process to it, and it's easier when you learn alongside others.

We still have about 2 weeks left of tomato season!🍅 Come, test and try!

👀The reason we get such massive, flavour-packed tomatoes comes down to heritage seeds and natural variety. Did you know there are over a thousand different tomato varieties out there? While the supermarkets usually stick to just 2 or 3 standard types, we grow around 12 unique heritage varieties right here in our garden!

Pop down to grab some of these giant tomatoes on their own, or pick up a fresh, seasonal veg box! 👇

🌱 We need your vote! 🌱

We've been on an incredible run with awards lately, and we're now through to the National Small Business Awards as a finalist in the Business Hero category! 🏆

Awards like this do far more than look good on a shelf. They help us get seen by the organisations, funders and partners who can back our work:

🌳 Turning underused land into thriving community spaces
🤝 Bringing neighbours together
🧑‍🌾 Helping people grow through volunteering and upskilling
🌍 Regenerating the environment, one patch at a time

Voting takes less than a minute:
1️⃣ Go to 👉 https://thesmallbusinessawards.co.uk/nationalvoting/
2️⃣ Select Project Abundance from the dropdown
3️⃣ Add your email to verify, slide the bar to 3, and hit submit
4️⃣ Optional: tell them why you're voting for us. It really helps!

⚠️ Please vote only once! It's strictly one vote per person, and the awards use spam filters.

⏰ Voting closes 1 November. Please share this with friends, family, volunteers and colleagues who've seen what we do.

Thank you for being part of our community. We couldn't do this without you 💚

Two things are quietly wearing the UK down right now.

First, the boiling frog. Food costs more. Housing costs more. Public spaces keep disappearing and people feel more cut off. It happens so slowly that we adapt to every new normal. None of it is normal.

Second, crabs in a bucket. We’re pushed to argue, blame each other and drag each other back down. Imagine if we helped each other climb out instead. We might finally see who’s holding the bucket.

That’s why we care so much about community spaces and local infrastructure at Project Abundance. Places where you can grow food and learn practical skills alongside your neighbours. Strong communities get built in real places, by real people doing real things together.

We can keep adapting to the decline. Or we can start building something resilient and abundant.
Our membership launches soon. It supports the mission and shows you how to make a difference where you live.
