Why are we coming together?
Brent Council plans to build Block D (14 homes, 4 storeys high) on our beloved Granville Rec. Granville Rec is home to our community garden and vegetable growing project. It is a place where people come together to grow food, learn new skills, support wellbeing, and build connections.
In response, the community has been campaigning to protect this space. On this day, we come together to celebrate the garden and stand up for its future.
What’s happening on the day:
- Updates and discussion about the future of the garden
- Guided garden walk
- Bug hunt and biodiversity exploration
- Sharing of garden-grown vegetables
- Hands-on gardening activities
- Banner making for the Save the Rec campaign
We also want to open up a wider conversation about the food ecosystem and the need for transformative change, by showing our other programmes, including:
The Good Food Box – an affordable, radical organic veg box (with fruit, veg tasting and homemade veg cakes available)
Granville Community Farm Hub – an agroecological farm hub connecting the urban South Kilburn community with land in the countryside
