Growing Greenwich is part of the work of the Good Food in Greenwich Network.
Each week local residents can attend a local centre to try a range of gardening activities from seed sowing to planting, maintaining and managing herbs, shrubs, flowers soft fruit bushes, vegetables and fruit trees throughout the seasons, with the support and guidance of GCDA’s community gardeners and volunteers. When the weather is inclement, sessions are held indoors to discuss topics related to the site and gardening, plants and the natural world in general.
Participants will have a direct impact on the local environment by adopting organic principles to support wildlife and creating better green spaces for local people.
