Food growing toolkit for healthcare settings

Project completed as part of the North East London 2023 Green Team Competition as a partnership between NEL ICB, Newham Council and the Newham GP Federation.

As part of the NEL Green Team competition we wanted to start the ball rolling with more food-growing in healthcare grounds in Newham. As the competition was only ten weeks we used the time to pool resources and knowledge, to make a food-growing toolkit.

This looks great, thanks for sharing Catherine! I'm interested to know what you did with the food - e.g. were you able to use it in on-site catering/ did you sell the produce?

I really like these, 'unexpected garden' urban initiatives especially in a borough like Newham and I am impressed by how much you were able to achieve in 10 weeks. There is so much space that can be used to give people the idea of growing at least a bit of what they eat close to home. Cool!
