A children and families garden will inspire and educate, encouraging the next generation to grow their own fruit and vegetable as healthy eating options. It will explore themes of wellbeing, using wholistic activities to increase understanding of self-care, making healthy food choices, submersion in nature, mindfulness and creativity. Advocating intergenerational and cross-cultural exchanges, our garden and sessions will explore the tastes, textures and techniques used to grow an array of heritage crops.
The site will deliver children and families sessions for visitors, schools, young people and community organisations, as well as providing education and volunteering opportunities. This project is an extension of the extensive community work undertaken at the Wolves Lane Centre, N22 5JD where there are weekly volunteering opportunities, classes, workshops, and an affordable produce shop.
The Eat Wood Green team is made up of a partnership between The Ubele Initiative CIC, Black Rootz, Haringey Council and is supported by the GLA High Streets for All fund.
