Master Gardener Programme
If you are interested in getting support with food growing whether on a small or big plot of land, a patio, a balcony, a windowsill or growing basket, then get in touch. We can support up to 10 households in Penge for a 12-month period. See also www.mastergardeners.org.uk
Sustainable Development Community Champion We are planning to start a local group to become sustainable development champions locally. This will involve getting familiar with some of the big issues that face us, finding local solutions and identifying actions. There will be 4 all-day indoor sessions (Saturdays), plus some community project visits in London, other local visits, some food growing volunteering as well as a bit of reading and web research. This programme is open to anyone who cares about this world and Penge/South London in particular. We will only advertise dates once we have at least 8 people interested. Please contact Andrea, if you are. Cost for this training is variable according to income and employment status - starting from £50 (payment in 5 monthly installments is possible) Fares are additional. Concessions are available.
Food-growing days
