Great to be part of @capital_growth #urbanharvest2021 today🎉 🥬Lots of visitors, harvesting + planting out winter veg in Learner Plots. Thanks to our Community Gardener Jane, and volunteer Ian, who works at Kew's Millenium Seed Bank for a fascinating workshop on seed saving🌱 We used hand lenses to examine seeds closely, cutting seeds to check which were viable, and learning how to prep for storage. Huge thanks to Ian for the brilliant insight into the work of the Millenium Seed Bank 🙏 also to our funders @cityoflondon @CityBridgeTrust #communitygardening #communitygardens #streathamcommoncommunitygarden #seedsaving #skills #seedbank #streatham #foodgrowing #urbangardens #organicveggies #organicgrowing
