Good to Grow Week

Every April community gardens across the UK host Good to Grow events to kick off the growing season and build the community growing movement. This year we're taking a pause but watch this space for another festival week for London gardens in June.

Good to Grow Week 2025 has been postponed due to unavoidable circumstances. Instead we'll be joining forces with Grow Urban Festival in June to celebrate the double whammy of Great Big Green Week (7 - 15 June) & National Growing for Wellbeing Week (10 - 16 June). Watch this space for more information about how to get involved.

In 2024 Good to Grow activities took place across the whole of the UK from 22 to 29 April 2024, with open days, volunteer sessions and communities festivities including bug hunts, plant sales, bushcraft skills and community lunches. Despite the rain, our hardy food growing community dusted off their bunting and pulled on their wellies to welcome people into their edible gardens. There were two key themes last year: 

  • Growing for Nature: encouraging and tracking nature and biodiversity as part of the Capital Growth Growing for Change campaign, linking up with the global City Nature Challenge
  • Right to Grow: support and amplify the Right to Grow movement, led by Incredible Edible.
