Capital Growth's training in West London

In partnership with Hammersmith Community Gardens Association

Hammersmith Community Gardens Association has been delivering community growing projects in the borough for 15 years. Their main sites are the Glasshosues in Ravenscourt Park where they run weekly growing sessions and training. Stock produced at this site is used by the 12 schools where they have a school gardening programme. For the last four years HCGA have managed the school farm and learning zone on behalf of Phoenix High School. On the one acre site that is situated in the middle of the White City Estate their volunteers grow a wide range of crops, all just 2 streets away from the A40.
