Info
A group dedicated to promoting the use of local food by the growing, cooking eating and celebrating of locally produced food.
The core of our group is our community volunteers who maintain a number of propaganda gardens in public places with herbs and vegetables for anybody to pick, but we also have:
- an experimental forest garden
- a community allotment with individually maintained and harvested plots
- a ‘growing schools’ network of Prestwich and Whitefield Secondary and Primary Schools and Children’s Centres
We organise two popular family events each year in Philips Park which attract substantial numbers.
We have monthly Core Group meetings at the Ostrich Inn in Prestwich (second Tuesday of the month at 7.30), monthly social events, two major annual events in Philips Park and regular work days on our projects across Prestwich and Whitefield - check our website for details.
