Welcome to Harvest @ Home.

This Community Action Group is a partnership made possible by Cherwell Community Larder, Co-Grow, Good Food Oxford, Oxford City Farm, Community Action Oxfordshire and local councils and allotment associations. Harvest@Home receives generous facilities support from Kidlington Parish Council. You can find out more here: http://harvestathome.uk 

Our main goal is to help people get started growing their own produce at home and at our community gardens!

We now prioritise households who are experiencing food insecurity due to the COVID crisis, but anyone is eligible to join our waiting list for our services. Grow seedlings which you can plant at home or at one of our community Greenspace Gardens. Keep looking after them and watch your plants grow and produce food!


Services we offer:

- Seedlings

- Seeds

- Garden in a Box (starter kit)

- Potato pack

- Hedging saplings (young trees): rowan, blackthorn, crab apple, dog rose and hazel
* Please note: the trees are not always available.


Items:
We can supplement a garden starter kit with items from donations we received, including: tools, climbing aids and other materials.

Guides:
Harvest@Home users will have access to a variety of amazing resources, including guides showing growth stages of seeds, tips for beginners, troubleshooting pests and other plant problems, and guides for preserving your harvest.

Composting:
We can provide instruction for beginners to home composting thanks to Replenish, Community Action Groups Oxfordshire and Oxfordshire County Council. We currently have some limited equipment for at home composting. If you are keen to make your own compost, we can help source you a compost bin with the help of some of our amazing partners. Please make sure to let us know in the form below.

Community:
We will help you become a part of local community gardening groups. Co-Grow is a Facebook support group of many experienced gardeners, a collective of allotment users, home growers, and professionals. We also have opportunities for you to be involved with community gardens in your area. Please follow us on Twitter: HarvestatH and like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/harvestathomeuk 

Cost:
Harvest@Home is part of Cherwell Collective. We do have some costs to offer this service. While there is no minimum fee, we request people pay what they can in cash or in kind. What does this mean? If you have some funds to donate towards this, please do. If not, please consider giving your time, growing a few extra seedlings and planting them in a community garden, and helping us build a sustainable resource together.  We cannot do this work without volunteers.
