We are a volunteer community garden in Hackney, London, UK. We have been up and running for 3 years, consisting of about 40 residents from various age and cultural groups, who have been growing food in a previously disused space on the estate. We have just been given our second site to expand to meet growing demand, so watch this space to follow the next phase of our project!

Capital Growth Networking Event
Capital Growth is a campaign to support 2,012 new food growing spaces in London by the end of 2012. They have provided funding for our first raised beds , some training for our members and are linking us with volunteers for the 'Big Dig' on 17th March. On 23 February they held a workshop at the Finsbury Library Hall on St John St. Around 50 people attended and took part in workshops on 'starting a garden', 'composting' and 'growing and selling food'. Lots of questions were asked and answered, new connections made and most delicious food was eaten. Another great community networking event! Thanks Capital Growth.
