Growing Hollingdean is a group of volunteers who care about growing biodiversity in Brighton
Growing Hollingdean is a small volunteer group of local residents that help develop community growing and wildlife spaces in the Hollingdean area. We work in collaboration with other local groups to improve biodiversity, and provide opportunities for learning about local nature and how to grow food. Our overall aim is to support the growth of a resilient local community.
