MOUNTFORD GROWING COMMUNITY - is a community organisation seeking to strengthen community cohesion and health within Mountford Estate and our larger community throughout Hackney, London - through various activities including gardening, non competitive sporting activities and recipe sharing days. We are a voluntary organisation made up of local residents and anyone is welcome to join. We will be creating an edible garden: planting fruit bushes and trees, edible flowers (like the nasturtiums above) and herbs. It will be beautiful and edible. If you have any suggestions or would like to know more please do get in touch on our contact page. We are looking for residents to share their recipes so we can make a Mountford Estate Recipe book, our recipe sharing days will happen at monthly intervals throughout the year. We will also be encouraging everyone in the local community to get involved with our forthcoming sports days.
Throughout the year we will have communal planting and digging days, fruit and herb picking days and the chance to share skills and recipes that use the food we grow. This garden will be a celebration of the culinary cultures of our diverse community. We are inclusive of everyone.
15th JULY 2017 COMMUNITY LUNCH! We are inviting everyone from the community to have lunch together. This will happen on the 15th July. We want to hear from you if you are a musician, singer, poet, or would like to share some other skill with our community. There will be games for the children, and if you have any suggestions of how you would like to celebrate Mountford Estate get in contact. We are looking to share stories - particularly from our older residents, so if you have a tale to tell we want to hear it. Come along on the 15th with a home cooked dish to share with your neighbours. If you are super keen on cooking and are able to make two or more dishes we have a small budget to cover costs of the ingredients. For more information email: [email protected]
NEXT DIGGING DAY SUNDAY 4th JUNE 2017 3pm-6pm
Please bring along gardening gloves, spades, forks and trowels if you have them, but don't worry if you don't we have spare gardening tools. After a day of digging we will enjoy some cake and refreshments.
Our first community digging day happened on the 6th May 2017 12pm -5pm - Thank you to everyone who came to join in, we planted some herbs and raspberries, and watered the fruit trees.
Mountford Growing Community would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Keep Moat who has kindly given us two table planters.
