Hampstead Horticultural Society is a community group in the Hampstead NW3 area of London seeking to encourage local residents to work together to cultivate vegetables, fruit and flowers. Each year we put on a number of events, including two horticultural shows with competition classes for flowers, shrubs, plants, vegetables, fruit, flower arrangements and cookery and two illustrated talks at Burgh House in Hampstead. We also arrange social events, coach outings and plant sales. If you live in or near Hampstead, then you’re very welcome to join us.

Capital Growth Scheme a Great Success

Submitted by hhsadmin on

A new report, entitled Growing Success, has just been produced to describe the positive impact of the Capital Growth programme over the last four years. The programme, funded by the Mayor of London and the Big Lottery, and run by London Food Link has helped get around 99,000 people growing on 2012 community food gardens.

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who wrote a foreword for the report, said "Capital Growth has proven to be an astonishing success which has unlocked a primal love of gardening in city dwellers."
