The Little Growers Club at Streatham Common Community Garden offers young people aged 6 to 9 the chance to grow and cook their own healthy food. Each Little Grower is given their own plot to look after between spring and autumn – they’ll be provided with seeds and tools, as well as lots of help and guidance from the SCCG team.
We prioritise local families who don’t have a garden or large growing space at home. Those who are invited to join the Little Growers Club will be able to come to the garden every Sunday between April and the end of October (or as many Sundays as you are available). Sessions last for an hour and run from 12pm to 1pm on Sundays unless otherwise stated.
We have a range of online activity resources available that include how-to guides, recipes and cut-out and colour-in activities. These are free for all to download, even if you don’t live in Streatham! Perfect for wetter days and colder months. And if you like growing, cooking, and eating food, you’ll love the new book, Chews Your Own Tasty Adventure, which has been written by one of the creators of The Little Growers Club, Dr Sai Pathmanathan. This fun children’s book contains recipes from around the world. Each recipe uses six key ingredients and offers a chance to make use of that tasty produce grown at the garden!
