Potager Community Garden CIC
Behind Potager is a fantastic team of volunteers and we’ve always supported and encouraged community groups to enjoy all that the garden has to offer. In future we’d like to give Potager an even greater community focus by providing a supportive and inclusive environment that enables access to our garden and kitchen for everyone in our community.
Potager Community Garden CIC completed a feasibility study with support from Cornwall Council through the Community Capacity Fund in the last few months of 2023. In response to the results of our community engagement, and with the experience of working alongside people in the garden for many years, we have decided to establish a Social and Therapeutic Horticulture project at Potager to allow us to make the garden accessible to many more people.
This funding has been allocated from Cornwall Council’s Community Capacity Fund. The Community Capacity Fund is part of the Good Growth Programme, which is delivering the UK Shared Prosperity Fund in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly
National Lottery Community Fund
We’re delighted to have received a grant from The Community Fund to help us set up and run a new programme at Potager. We’re busy developing this project and will have some more information available soon. In the meanitime, if you have any questions, please contact us.
Community Levelling Up Programme
We have been awarded a grant by the Community Levelling Up Programme to develop new, wheelchair accessible growing space in the garden and to renovate part of our greenhouse to provide a social space, plant propagation area and a fully fitted kitchen. This new facility will be home to our Social and Therapeutic Horticulture sessions and should be ready early in the new year!
