Grow It Yourself is a popular community organisation with a vision of bringing people together in a sustainable and healthier way through organic food growing. Now it has plans to launch further afield in the UK.
Founded in Ireland in 2009 by Michael Kelly, Grow It Yourself (GIY) has more than 12,000 people involved in over 100 groups. In 2010 GIY launched in Australia while a national launch is set for the UK later this year. Ciaran Walsh from Grow It Yourself Ireland says the official launch will be later in the year, but the website should go live in the next six to eight weeks. The website makes it easy for people to connect with like minded individuals where they can share tips on how to grow food in a healthy and sustainable environment.

Isn’t this exactly what Garden Organic has been/should be trying to do with ‘Master Gardeners’ etc? It will be very interesting to see how this develops in comparison.
