Free vegetable seedlings
We are delighted that Myatt’s Fields Park Project will be giving away free vegetable seedlings to community growing projects in spring and summer 2018.
Thanks to funding from London Community Foundation, Lambeth Early Action Partnership and support from Urban Growth we are able to grow seedlings in our greenhouse and offer them to food growers across Lambeth.
Who can apply?
This support is available to all not for profit or community food growing projects and sites in Lambeth.
What does the support include?
Planning sessions
This year we are also offering groups the opportunity to join our Community Gardeners at a planning day in Myatt’s Fields Park (SE5 9RA). The sessions will help you plan your space, complete your seedling order form, meet other growers and make sure you get the best from your seedlings this year. We will provide a free lunch between 12.30 – 1.30 for attendees from both sessions.
To make the most of the session please bring with you:
