Summer open evening in Clissold market garden

Have you always wondered what goes on in the market garden in the middle of Clissold Park? 

Are you always busy on Tuesdays so can't make it along to the site when we're open for visitors and volunteers? 

Well, here's some good news! 

We're throwing open the gates of our market garden for a free summer evening gathering on Thursday 30 July. 

Let head grower Sophie show you round the garden. Find out how she and her team of trainees and volunteers grow Hackney Salad and other herbs and vegetables for GC's veg box scheme. Take in the sights and sounds of an organic market garden and learn how to tend crops without the use of toxic pesticides. Enjoy a drink and a snack and meet your neighbours. 

When: Thursday 30 July, from 5.30pm to 8pm

Where: GC's organic market garden, Clissold Park, N16, beside the bird enclosure and opposite the old paddling pool.

Watch this space for news about future open days and evenings in the park in September.

 

A weekly email helping you savour the seasons and eat sustainably with tips, recipes, tasty offers & events from your local food community.
