frome nature lab

Cultivating Community is excited to be starting a new partnership with LOOP Composting and Edventure Frome to create Frome Nature Lab, a practical demonstration site for climate-adaptive growing and composting.

 

We will run volunteer days, workshops, grow wildlife-friendly and drought-resilient plants, trial aquaponics and water capture systems and produce peat-free compost from local food waste.

​

Cultivating Community having developed and ran a community plant nursery for six years at the Walled Garden in Mells has developed expertise in wildlife-friendly propagation, community growing and inclusive volunteering. Edventure has over a decade of experience activating community-led climate projects, including its Youth Climate Group, Future Shed and multiple nature-based initiatives. LOOP Composting brings specialist knowledge in community-scale food-waste composting and low-carbon waste reduction. All three organisations have strong local networks and a proven ability to co-design projects with residents. This partnership ensures high-quality horticultural expertise, hands-on climate skills, and deep community engagement—making us well placed to deliver a practical, impactful climate-adaptive growing hub for Frome.
