This talk arises from a small-scale study that took place in 2024 looking at the influence of migration on community food-growing gardens and their gardeners. The session will explore the wonderfully vibrant community gardens in north London that were the focus of this work looking at what is grown, who is growing it and the benefit growing together brings.

As context, the London Parks and Gardens online talk on January 13 will offer a light-touch review of the social history of community food growing gardens and cover, briefly, migration to London over time. It will also highlight outcomes from academic research relating to community food-growing gardens and compare the findings with those of this study.
