Help to grow your own food

Hackney Homes has teamed up with Capital Growth to help residents grow their own food.

Residents can apply for between £200 and £1500 from the Capital Growth Scheme to use spare pieces of land on estates for food growing. Hackney Homes gardeners can also help provide seeds, plants, and advice for residents intersted in growing.

In our ward, Smalley Road Estate is in the process of applying for the funding and we look forward to supporting residents in transforming the green spaces across the estate. More info here.
