Transition Buxton Take on Former Council Plant Nursery

Transition Buxton's Food group, with volunteer support, is setting up 'The Serpentine Community Farm' - a community-run food education project - by transforming a run-down and derelict council nursery. The group’s objectives are to encourage more home-growing of veg by improve gardening and food preservation skills in the community; and to supply our produce to local kitchens.The group are currently seeking donations to pay for vital renovations, construction(glasshouse, composting toilet, raised beds, polytunnel) and obligations (soil tests, planning applications, insurance etc).

Donations can be made online: www.gofundme.com/lewb9s
