Urban Harvest
Between 1-29 September, gardens across the Capital Growth network open their doors to volunteers and members of the public for our 15th annual Urban Harvest.
Urban Harvest is a great way for London’s food growing communities to come together and celebrate the harvest. There’s lots to celebrate – from the wonderful food grown in these community growing spaces to the diversity of people and volunteers involved in making these spaces flourish.
How to get involved
We encourage gardens to take part in #UrbanHarvest2024 by opening their garden to new visitors and volunteers through running an activity or event such as a seed swap, a harvest activity or a hands-on workshop.
To register to take part in this year’s festivities, all you have to do is make sure you’re a Capital Growth growing space member and have a think about what kind of activity or event you'd like to run in your garden. Not already a member? Join Capital Growth for free now!
Once registered, you'll have access to all our useful resources and materials to help you plan your open day or activity.
This year participating gardens will have the chance to take part in our #UrbanHarvest2024 competitions (deadline for submissions is Friday 4 October) to win some amazing prizes:
- Best harvest photo
- Heaviest pumpkin or squash!
Do you know about the Harvest-ometer? It's a tool that our members can use to record their harvests and find out how muchmoney and C02 your garden is saving by growing your own compared to buying the same produce from the supermarket!
