MOUNTFORD GROWING COMMUNITY - is a community organisation creating an edible garden and strengthening community cohesion within Mountford Estate, Hackney, London. We are a voluntary organisation made up of local residents and anyone is welcome to join. We will be planting fruit bushes and trees, edible flowers and herbs. It will be beautiful and edible.
Throughout the year we will have communal planting and digging days, fruit and herb picking days and the chance to share skills and recipes that use the food we grow. This garden will be a celebration of the culinary cultures of our diverse community. We will be building a living teepee/dome with climbing plants, fruits and flowers to create a fun place for children to sit and play and learn more about food growing. We will be encouraging people to compost their food waste, by demonstrating how it can be used to feed flowers. We are inclusive of everyone.
