Welcome to GC South!

Hello veg lovers 

We're thrilled to share an important – and exciting – update about the future of Growing Communities. 

South Londoners from Brixton to Brockley and Camberwell to Crystal Palace can now access the veg box scheme!

We have joined forces with the former Local Greens, a brilliant scheme  that has been delivering fresh, seasonal, organic veg to south Londoners for 13 years. It was set up with support from GC's Start-up Programme back in 2012, so it's much like coming home to mama!

How does this affect your veg bag subscription?
Your veg bag subscription will continue to bring organic, seasonal and locally grown veg to you while supporting fair wages for the same brilliant sustainably minded farmers. Our commitment to local, sustainable farming is stronger than ever.

The two schemes will still be run separately, so...

  • Your veg bags will stay the same, with the same account and login details
  • Your collection point won’t change
  • Pricing and order options will remain as they are, though these are different depending whether you join the scheme in South London or North/East London
  • The same brilliant teams (if we do say so ourselves!) will be working behind the scenes to manage and deliver your orders and write your newsletters

Please tell your South London friends and family about the scheme. They can create an account here
