We are a local community group who promote organic gardening and food growing.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to grow their own food and live in a clean and green environment. Our members are mostly local residents who are interested in gardening and food growing. Everyone is welcome, experienced gardeners and complete beginners. We meet up regularly to share advice on growing plants organically in gardens, balconies, even on window sills! We also run a number of activities throughout the year.

Membership is free, to join or find out more, simply e-mail: info@islingtonorganicgrowers.org.uk
