GROWING ON OUR DOORSTEP
Sustainable community food growing in St Thomas, Exeter, and beyond.
Building a Stronger Food Community
At Zero Mile Gardens, we’re committed to nurturing sustainable food-growing initiatives that empower our community. Explore how we’re growing fresh produce, sharing knowledge and harvests, and supporting local groups and businesses in building a fairer food system.
Our mission is to foster access to food growing spaces, provide the skills and resources needed to cultivate chemical-free fruit and vegs, and contribute to create a vibrant community and a good food movement in our neighbourhoods.
