Why Support Earth in Common?

Earth in Common started as a grassroots movement under the name Leith Community Crops in Pots. We were born in a barren concrete yard in the heart of Leith, an underused and unloved spot.

Our founder, Evie Murray, wanted to give her children a healthy outdoor experience in a crowded urban environment. Starting in her backyard (Dr Bell’s Yard), Evie and her children began to grow their own fruit, vegetables and herbs.

The physical and emotional benefits were obvious and, as the children enjoyed learning about food, they loved to eat their veg!

Evie shared more about the many environmental, social and educational benefits of growing food in urban areas, inspiring other mothers to join in. She recruited a board and rolled out her work across Leith. We now have several integrated projects.

Today, Earth in Common is transforming the local community by:

- Promoting environmental and green skills education and awareness through workshops and volunteering opportunities.

- Encouraging healthy lifestyles and wellbeing through providing opportunities to be involved in community gardening and nature connection

- Supporting local growers and sustainable horticulture and biodiversity.

- providing growing space for around 100 'Crofters' each year and Leith Community Croft is a haven for pollinating insects in urban Leith.

- Showing support for partners in the Global South (specifically Malawi) – for those who are not responsible for the climate catastrophe but whose lives are already being devastated by it - via financial contributions via our Loss and Damage fund.

Every hula hoop twirl at “Hula for Harvest” brings us closer to a more sustainable and resilient world. Together, we can make a huge impact!
