Strength in diversity: Capital Growth Survey 2017-18
This survey of Capital Growth members was undertaken during the spring of 2018 and completed by 205 people who represent a London-based food growing garden. The questions covered details on the members’ garden, their challenges, the usefulness of Capital Growth’s support, and views on what our future focus could be.
