20/05: Unused Strip of Land available for Community Garden in Holloway, Islington
Capital Growth/Sustain: the alliance of better food and farming want to help Londoners transform the capital by creating 2,012 new food growing spaces by the end of 2012. The Capital Growth campaign offers practical advice and support to communities around London, and helps people get access to land to create successful food growing spaces.
In particular, right now in our neck of the woods, they are looking for a community group to take on some container vegetable growing in a paved area belonging to the Goodinge Health Centre, 20 North Road, N7 9EW. It is a long, narrow space to the side of the building, separated from the pavement by a 3.5 foot wall. Currently there is no funding available from Capital Growth, but there may be some later in the year. If you think you can collect a few neighbours and present yourselves as a community group please contact Seb Mayfield by May 25th at:
seb@sustainweb.org or call: 020 7837 1228 . The Capital Growth website is: http://www.capitalgrowth.org/
If the location is not near enough to your home, but you are looking for somewhere to grow food please contact Seb anyway as he may know of other possible locations.
Finally, in our April 2010 Newsletter now in the website Library, we have an article about the flourishing - and new - St Luke's Community Garden. Please read it and be encouraged.
