"Grow Your Own" in Dulwich Village

If you are interested in growing your own fruit and vegetables, please come to a “Grow Your Own” demonstration and, if the weather's fine, have a picnic at a large plot converted from waste ground in the centre of Dulwich Village - entry point at 5 Roseway, SE21 7JT.

This site has been worked for 11 years now and shows how waste ground can be put to productive use. It is a pleasant place with lots of lawn available for your picnic, so come for the afternoon and see what has been done and how you can grow healthy food. Also support the movement to make available such space for those looking for similar facilities in the area. You may be one!

There will be guided tours/growing discussions at 2.30 and 4pm.

The following are grown throughout the year and many may be seen growing now:

Vegetables
Artichoke, asparagus, beans (runner, broad and French), brassica (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts), beetroot, carrot, celery, celeriac, chard, courgette, cucumber, lettuce, leek, onion, parsnip, potato, peas, peppers, rhubarb, spinach, squash, sweet corn, swede, tomato, turnip.
