The Gleanr team is proud to announce the launch of a collaborative community platform for urban food growers.
Extensive experience in urban agriculture and community building has helped us to design a space that offers free access to quality information and unique tools, while cultivating (pardon the pun) a rewarding experience for all.
The result is a platform that reflects our vision of enabling local food growing, regardless of patch size, location or experience level. However, as Gleanr Co-founder Peter says, ‘everyone can grow healthy food, but we also want people to be realistic and know that gardens need to be looked after. The key to success is persistence and accessing objective knowledge at all stages of the food growing journey, in other words finding knowledge in context.’. Gleanr is designed around creating context. Persistence is in your hands.
Whether you want to grow vegetables in your backyard or simply raise a small box of herbs; whether you are growing food alone or with family and friends; or whether you seek to upgrade your skills to have your own commercial urban farm, Gleanr has it covered. For those starting from scratch or seeking to expand and make the food garden more consistently productive, Gleanr offers e-resources and tools, such as our Planting Wizard, which have been developed from 15 years of first-hand experience in teaching and supporting people growing their own veggies, herbs and fruit.
Gleanr is about helping you learn how to get the best out of your garden, assist you in designing your own growing space, based on your location, and finally about helping you connect with a community of growers.
Best of all, it’s free to register.
