If you've ever dreamt of turning your backyard (or even your windowsill) into a lush garden oasis, Grow It Local is here to make that dream a reality. This Australian startup is more than just a community—it's a plant-powered mission to make life happier, healthier, and more delicious by making growing your own food simple, social, and fun.
Whether you’ve got a sprawling backyard, a cozy balcony, or just a sunny windowsill, Grow It Local is your go-to for all things green and edible. Let's dig in...
Grow It Local’s mission is as fresh as the veggies they help you grow: they’re all about getting more Australians to grow, share, and eat locally-grown foods. How? through their free workshops they aim to make organic food-growing knowledge more accessible, increase the production and consumption of local produce, reduce food waste by encouraging composting and inspire positive connection to nature.
And let’s not forget, they’re making it fun!
Seed Service Grow-Along: This subscription service is foolproof. Grow your own veg from scratch alongside top gardening guides and learn how to whip up delicious dishes with your harvest.
Born from the creative minds behind Garage Sale Trail, Grow It Local started in 2012 as a ‘crowd farming’ initiative that turned local produce into epic feasts. From backyard gardens to a 2,200-person crowd farm at the Sydney Opera House, this initiative took off and has been growing strong ever since. Now, with partnerships with hundreds of councils, they’re spreading the joy of homegrown food across the country.
Grow It Local is such a great community initiative & it reminded us of another green thumb Aussie company that are also helping raise awareness about environmental garden goodness: Share Waste. The app designed to teach you and help you share your composting scraps or put your compost pile on the map too!
This community initiative helps us reduce our food waste and foster local gardens in your community, how cool!
With Grow It Localand ShareWaste, you’re not just growing food—you’re growing a sustainable future. We dig it!🌱
