🥒 Garden harvest!!

This season, the garden has been bursting with life — juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, marrows, and colourful squashes. Thanks to the hard work of our wonderful gardeners and volunteers, the harvest has made its way to St Luke's Church Farmers Market and the Good Food Box, bringing fresh, community-grown produce to tables across the neighbourhood.

🚌 Granville Community Farm Trip

We organised our first community visit to the Granville Community Farm Hub, bringing together 30 residents and volunteers.

The day began at the local town hall, where community members shared their visions for the farm — imagining what could be grown, built, and celebrated together.

The group then enjoyed a walk to the fields and heartfelt conversations with landowners John and Joanna, discovering more about the farm’s history and local ecosystem. The visit sparked inspiring ideas for how the community can shape, connect with, and share this space. ✨

✊ Campaign- Save Granville Rec Community Garden

We’ve launched a campaign to protect the Granville Rec Community Garden from demolition. Brent Council plans to build Block D (14 houses, 4 floors high) on our beloved Granville Rec.

Granville Rec is more than just a garden: it’s a hub for vegetable growing, community connection, health, learning, and well-being.

On 22nd September, about 20 local residents gathered for a public meeting to share ideas and actions to safeguard this vital space.

NW6 residents, Londoners who love green spaces, champions of urban growing. Join us! 🌱

We’re delighted to share that 12 people have completed their Level 1 Horticultural Certificates with us this year! It’s wonderful to see so many community members passionate about food growing and beginning their journey with land and food.

These photos show how participants have been putting their learning into practice by growing at home and in their own spaces
