I was surfing around You tube and found this fabulous program – Landshare. The idea behind the English Landshare program is that people with land to spare donate space to people who want to grow their own vegetables. The program seems to be thriving.
I take my hat off to the Landshare program so simple and such fabulous community building outcomes – genius.

Hi there
Glad you like the Landshare website- many many thanks for writing about it on your site.
Lots of opportunities for people to grow together and there’s a new groups section I thought you and your Backyard farm gang might like depending what you’re all trying to do

Dear Lucy
Thanks for dropping in. I’m growing in my backyard in Australia. I’m sure the landshare idea might eventually take off here. As a community we are just at the point (maybe ten years into) setting up community allotments. So for now we are just admiring how awesome the Landshare program is from afar. Obviously ‘sharing’ is an important corner stone of future sustainability. Cheers from the Backyard Farm
