What it does
GIY provides growing guides, online learning and programmes for home and school food growing. Its GROW HQ also offers courses, events and a separate shop and visitor programme.
GIY has a useful distinction between learning to grow at home and visiting its GROW HQ. Growing guides, webinars and online courses provide the home-learning route; school programmes address a different setting. The course listings include practical subjects such as polytunnel growing, while community membership and live questions offer continued participation. Begin with a growing guide for the crop or space in mind, then assess an individual course if the task needs more structure. Books, seeds, boxes, café visits and events are separate offerings, so their prices and access conditions should be read independently.
