Landshare launches their website

You might remem­ber my post about a new pro­ject in the UK called Land­share. Well they’ve just launched their new web­site.

Landshare: linking people who want to grow their own food to space where they can grow it

Abso­lutely bril­liant idea intro­duced by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on his UK TV pro­gram River Cot­tage last night: Land­share, link­ing people who want to grow their own food to space where they can grow it.

Check it out at Landshare.net and register your interest.

I have a flat with a small garden — which helps me stay sane liv­ing in the middle of a busy city like Lon­don — but I’d love to be able to grow more than we cur­rently can and while I’ve signed up for an allot­ment in Cam­den I’m over 700th on the list so have an estim­ated wait of more than 10 years!

I see unused land all over Lon­don that could be used for grow­ing food. Now I’ve got my beady eyes on the large dis­used grassed area at the hous­ing estate across the road!
