Grow your own
More and more people are choosing to grow their own produce. This year as part of the Open garden day you can visit White City Allotments and see how gardeners there grow their own produce. In many of the gardens open this year you can see that you can grow fruit and vegetables in the small garden. Look out for details in the guide to see which gardeners are growing their own.
