We create grassroots, people-led farming projects, growing sustainable and healthy food for Manchester communities.

We have been identified by GMCVO as an example of ‘Best Practice for an Inclusive Economy’. We were supported by MP Afzal Kahn in the House of Commons, highlighting our examples of repurposing green spaces, and we were also used as a case study for the government's Levelling Up Scheme. In 2022, we won the RHS Britain In Bloom’s discretionary ‘Pride of Manchester’ award and the ‘Dena Murphy’ award in 2023 in recognition of PFMG and our community work in Manchester. We are involved in 3 of the largest Green Spaces Award projects - BUG in Beswick, Forever Fields in Whalley Range & Collyhurst.

🌿 I spent the day capturing moments with some incredible neurodivergent young adults at Starling ‘s workshop last summer with MUD CIC 📸 Despite my creative concerns about a gardening workshop being held in an inner city community center, the garden setting blew me away. 🌺 It was a reminder not to judge a book by its cover! 💫 The young people were emmersed in their joy of planting and connecting with nature, it was truly inspiring. 🌱 #Neurodiversity #CommunityGardening #UnexpectedBeauty
