Up The Allotments! Produce and Recipe Exchange

In this free community gardening workshop, learn how to get the most out of the space you have for growing plants. A communal session where you can get together with your gardening neighbours share recipes and exchange tips on what to grow in Newham.

A brand new food heritage programme running from Spring through to Autumn 2024. Created in partnership with Eastside Community Heritage and Eleanor Pearce Arts, a series of art classes, gardening workshops and opportunities to share your local food stories.

Up the Allotments! celebrates the diverse and dynamic heritage of Newham. From the Dig for Victory campaign and Dr John Fothergill’s world-class plant collection to the productive allotments and community gardens producing food and flowers from all over the world – Newham has a deep and delicious relationship to food.

To celebrate, we are offering an inspired array of free gardening workshops and art courses in Manor Park, Little Ilford and East Ham from April 2023 through to the autumn.
