Horticulture

At the start of the Spring term, we resumed our weekly visits to the college allotment, with a focus on preparing our own plot. This has given learners a valuable opportunity to take ownership of what they grow. The group has already dug over the area and planted potatoes and onions next to our the polytunnel, with early signs of growth now beginning to appear.

Despite a cold and wet start to February, learners have demonstrated great commitment and enthusiasm and are now looking ahead to the summer months with optimism.

Back at the Neasden site, students also worked collaboratively to build a raised bed, further developing their practical skills and teamwork. This space will be used to grow flowers and herbs to support our cooking sessions at college.
We look forward to sharing further updates as the field to fork project develops.
