London Grown open to volunteers – 3rd & 15th October
Lots of work has been happening at Pasteur Gardens in Enfield to set up the new community market garden on the 7 acres which has been derelict for 20 years.
The land has been cleared, compost toilet built, the education space developed and water is now on site.
And now it’s time for a tractor to plough the field, mark out the beds and then cover the land for the winter!

Today, as a country, we face huge problems – widening inequality, a chronic housing crisis, a dysfunctional agricultural system, multiple public health issues and impending climate collapse. Land use is one of the root causes of these problems but is rarely discussed. Indeed, land has been the elephant in the room of English politics for so long we have become accustomed to its absence during important debates.
