We think our beautiful planet and the wonderful people who live on it would be happier and healthier if we grew and ate more of our own food. Roots was born to help bring your food supply into your own hands.

With waiting lists for allotments stretching to over 14 years in the UK, it's not easy for those with small or no outdoor space to grow you own food and plants. We believe everyone should be able exercise their green fingers and feed your soul some goodness.

Over a couple of beers in Lockdown 3.0, we were reminiscing about our Bath roots in Will's tiny garden in London (yes him and Josh are twins!). He was showing off his rather small herb bed and Ed agreed that growing food helped boost his wellbeing over lockdown.

We searched for a local allotment but had to join a 25 year waiting list. We’d be retiring by the time we copped a patch! Realising it was the same story all over the UK, the idea for Roots was born.

Coming from a farming family, Will and Josh had a meadow that wasn’t being used in Bath, Somerset. The perfect plot for our first site.

Believing in the ‘no dig’ technique, we knew we could launch Roots in the perfect location in next to no time. We built ready to plant patches, sourced community tools and bought in the experts to help build our community. Perfect for newbies, experienced growers and with no waiting lists.
