FAQ

What types of gardening tools and equipment are available for use at your community garden?

At London Grown, we provide a variety of gardening tools and equipment for use at our community garden. This includes shovels, rakes, hoes, hand trowels, watering cans, and more. We also have raised garden beds and compost bins available for use.

How is the community garden maintained and who is responsible for upkeep?

Our community garden is maintained by a team of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about gardening and the environment. We work together to keep the garden clean, healthy, and thriving. Each member is responsible for their own plot and is expected to maintain it regularly.

Are there any restrictions on what can be grown in the garden?

We allow our members to grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers in our community garden. However, we do have a few restrictions in place to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to grow what they want. We ask that members do not grow invasive species, plants that require a lot of space, or anything that may be harmful to other plants or the environment.

How often are community events held, such as workshops or social gatherings?

We try to hold community events at least once a month, depending on the season and availability of volunteers. These events may include workshops on gardening or sustainability, social gatherings like barbecues, or educational programs for children. We also hold an annual harvest festival in the fall to celebrate the bounty of our garden.

Is there a fee or membership required to participate in the community garden?

Yes, there is a small fee to participate in our community garden. This fee helps us cover the cost of supplies and maintenance. We offer two options for membership: a full plot or a half plot. Full plots are 10 feet by 10 feet and cost £40 per year. Half plots are 5 feet by 10 feet and cost £20 per year. We also offer discounts for seniors and low-income individuals.
