"How to" ... grow your own food, and why?

Want to get growing yourself but don't know where to start?  Want to know why locally grown food is better for you and your environment?  Come and get some handy hints, pointers and inspiration from the Peace Garden team.  Find out how volunteering in a community garden can give you the skills and confidence to grow your own, whether you have a window box, garden or allotment.
 
Gareth Morgan and Stefan King work for Forest Farm Peace Garden, a charity working with volunteers from all parts of the community to regenerate a derelict allotment in Hainault.  Volunteers learn how to grow abundant organic fruit and veg, applying the principles of permaculture to create a sustainable, beautiful and inspiring garden for the whole community.
