Gardenshare is a new project based on the hugely successful schemes in Totnes, Bath, Cambridge, Exeter and loads of other Transition Towns. To see what Gardenshare is like in practice - see this clip from the BBC featuring the Totnes project by clicking here

Gardenshare basically links Garden Owners who have an unused corner of their garden with local, committed growers; Gardeners who want a plot of ground to treat it as if it were their own garden (or maybe they are number hundred-and-something on the allotments waiting list and are getting a bit hungry!)

Garden Owner benefits include: the demise of nettle-farming, a share of the produce, the chance to link with other Gardenshare Owners and the pleasure of seeing a developing vegetable plot emerging

Gardeners get a secure plot on which to grow whatever that they choose, lots of vegetables to eat (or flowers if you prefer) and the chance to reconnect with the soil and link with other Gardenshare gardeners
