Edible Garden Club
Kids on Lisson Green Estate have been getting green-fingered at The Greenside Community Centre at our Edible Garden Club. The club started in September and the children involved have learned how to grow vegetables from seedlings, and from seed, the conditions the vegetables liked to grow in and how to look after them. They measured environmental variables by making weather instruments out of recycled materials.
As many families in the area do not have a garden, this club gives the kids a place to be green-fingered and they are now involved on a weekly basis.
The club will continue in January when the kids will learn how to prepare and cook the vegetables they are growing.
