Ways to Support Local Food Production

Our most public face is the series of four community gardens that we operate around Macclesfield. Volunteers to help with the physical work are always welcome.
If you just want to get your hands dirty see "Next Working Parties".

But we also need other kinds of help:-

Publicity and administrative support is always welcome.

Give us your Knowledge!

If you are knowledgeable about gardening maybe you could offer to advise less experienced gardeners, visiting their garden or just giving telephone advice?

Obviously you could start to produce your own food at home without involving Food4Macc at all - but we would be pleased to hear that you are planning to "have a go" - it encourages us if we hear that we are making a difference.

Donations in any form:- money (of course!), but also plants, fruit bushes, fruit trees, compost, manure.

For example, apple trees can be bought for about £20. If you would like to donate one, or a mini orchard of five trees, please contact us. Autumn and winter is the time for tree planting. email us about trees .
