What is the Edible Estates competition?

It is a competition to find the best community food growing projects on London’s housing estates, thereby highlighting the wonderful projects that are going on.

We want every housing estate in London to have a community food growing project, we want to see communities coming together to celebrate good food and we want Londoners to go to their local community garden and pick the potatoes for that night's dinner. The Edible Estates Competition wants to encourage residents of housing estates to start a community food growing space or to enhance their community food growing space.

The first ten communities who register for the competition will enter a draw to win help from Mears Group. Click here for more details about our prizes and how to enter the competition.
