A workers' cooperative growing food on London's edge in the Lea Valley

February Open Day

Sunday 27 February at Hawkwood Plant Nursery
Our first open day of 2022 and it’s all about seeds and Spring. We’ll have a seed sovereignty workshop and a seed swap – a chance to bring, take, and talk about seeds at the start of this growing season, and to learn more about why harvesting seed is so important in a just and sustainable food system.
The open day will also include our usual refreshments, seasonal lunch, and a farm stall stocked with fresh and preserved goods and seed compost so you can get growing at home! We’ll have family pizza making, and a site tour will be focused on signs of Spring.

We’ll be inviting visitors to make a small suggested donation to help cover the costs of running the day.
