SEWN Together: a localised food growers gathering in North London

We are holding our forth SEWN event at the Calthorpe Community Garden in Kings Cross, in collaboration with Social Farms & Gardens, to gather food growers in North London together for networking, talks and workshops.

This event is aimed at gardens, growers and council officers woking across these boroughs: Camden, Enfield, Islington, Barnet, Brent and Haringey. 

SEWN Together – a series of events taking place across South, East, West and North London (hence the acronym!) – dives deep into the four quarters of London to platform the great work happening in food gardens tackling the nature and climate emergency and helping to build more resilient communities.

A celebration of the diversity, scale and spread of community food growing across London, we aim to strengthen connections between community gardens to weave  London's food growing networks more tightly together.

By welcoming local food growers, community networks and council representatives to each event, we’re creating a powerful collective of people who want to see positive change, and are already helping to make that happen. This is a chance for Londoners to share their food growing journeys so far, imagine the future of community food growing and work out the practical next steps to get there.
