Where the Mini Oceans Grow
Our growing hub sits on agricultural land where we are developing a small, low-impact algae site. The space includes:
- A polytunnel for controlled algae cultivation
- Outdoor growing systems using repurposed and recycled tanks
- Rainwater collection using recycled, food-safe plastic
- Low-energy drying racks for harvested biomass
- Space for volunteers, workshops, and community sessions
Rooted in Cornwall, Designed for Anywhere
The site has been designed to work with the land rather than against it. We prioritise manual tools where possible, minimise soil disturbance and reuse materials wherever we can.
Cornwall is central to this project. We source serpentine locally, collaborate with regional organisations and we speak openly about ocean health because we live beside it.
Being coastal shapes the work. The project is rooted here, but the model is intentionally simple and adaptable to take anywhere.
