We the Gang

Getting Britain Growing-Its-Own

One sunny weekend in lockdown, we realised that loads of our mates fancied the idea of growing-their-own veg and herbs on their patios and balconies. Trouble was, no one had a clue what to grow or how to grow it. Our group chat felt like Gardeners' Question Time for Dummies.

Plus most of the gardening companies out there were pretty, well, 'gardeningy' and serious, so not much help for beginners.

We thought it was a good idea to start pulling people out of the 'grow-your-own' sink-hole of internet advice. To show them that they don't need to be no Monty Don to grow fresh, varied, tasty food at home.

We started back in August 2020 with a handful of growers in our gang. Now we're getting thousands of beginners growing veg and herbs each month, experiencing the mental and physical benefits of homegrown grub.

Our shoutouts so far

We're well chuffed to have been named one of The Telegraph's Top 23 Independent Brands and to have been IndyReviews Recommended in 2021.

The Telegraph: "Grow-your-own fruit, veg and herb boxes for gardeners with more enthusiasm than experience."

The Evening Standard: “My ambition is to create the biggest gang of reformed plant killers in the world. I’m a bit of a beginner too which in a way is good because I can relate to them. I work out through a few different sources what the best advice is — and I ask my Nan!”

Indy Reviews: "Set up during lockdown, you could be forgiven for thinking that Pot Gang was offering something far different than plants for your garden. But all jokes aside, this is a brilliant gardening subscription box with plenty of fun."

Radio 4: "24-year-old Londoner Sam Smith started growing his own food in lockdown - and then set up Pot Gang, to share his new obsession."

Metro: "His seedling subscription service took off in the height of the pandemic last year, as the gardening trend took off (especially with millennials) and more people started caring about their plants."

  • "ADORE my pot gang subscription! I have a small garden and being able to grow such a variety of fruit veg and herbs with idiot proof instructions is fab. Can imagine this would be so great for kids as well! "

  • "Really amazing subscription service! My husband and I joined up during lockdown and we've been so impressed with our monthly box - especially now we have a variety of veg and herbs to use in our kitchen. The instructions are really clear and Sam is great when we have questions regarding any of the pots! Was so happy when they were able to deliver outside of the M25 so that my brother could get involved too!"

  • "We love Pot Gang! Like gardening therapy for my husband (it's chilling him right out) and the kids sometimes get involved too. Already eating the spinach with our scrambled eggs and mustard leaf and radishes in our salad. Can't wait for the chillis, tomatoes and beans to grow. The bean stalks look great and quite magical as they grow so fast you can see how they came up with the story."

  • "As someone who knows nothing about gardening, I can't recommend Pot Gang highly enough. Each month we get to have a go at growing useful food items in pots provided by the gang. The instructions are easy to follow and the little characters they've created are hilarious. The best bit is knowing if I get stuck, I can just ask and I will always get a helpful reply."
