Enjoy a green fingered spring
Calling all Londoners! Spring has finally sprung and it’s time to embrace the outdoors with Capital Growth.
Learn about urban food growing and running community gardens with hands-on sessions in gardens across London.

- Growing enterprise: Focussing on enterprising ideas and selling produce
- Get children growing: Engaging children and young people outdoors
- Grow for it! Learn something new or unusual
