WEST LONDONERS GROW FOOD FOR A FEASTIVAL!

A revolution in growing fresh food in the city is being celebrated with a festival at
Meanwhile Gardens, alongside the Grand Union Canal in North Kensington on 16
June.

Londoners here are harvesting their allotments and gardens to present a feast of
organic, chemical-free vegetables and produce for a spectacular cook-in. Locally
grown food, community cooking and eating, farming tips, workshops and live
entertainment are on the menu.

The event is being organised by Farm the City, a collaboration of local growers,
musicians and volunteers, just 300 yards from Sainsbury’s mega store in Ladbroke
Grove. Farm The City are organising a community of growing projects, home
growers, cookery skill-sharing clubs and food co-ops in the area.

Farm The City have practical and simple ideas for the local community to start
growing food now for the family on the website and Facebook. There’s also a call
for more volunteers from the community to get involved with the event now –email
