Take the opportunity to visit Eat Wood Green, Wood Green's unique new food growing and education space! Meet the project partners, take part in family friendly growing related activities and enjoy the new green heart of the town centre.
As well as family friendly growing activities delivered by Black Rootz and The Ubele Initiative CIC, project architects PUP will be giving a talk about the process of design development for the scheme and reflecting more widely on the challenges and opportunities of building on roof tops. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and gain fascinating insights into how the project was designed and delivered.
Designed by PUP Architects in collaboration with site operators The Ubele Initiative CIC and Black Rootz, Eat Wood Green has transformed a previously unused balcony at Wood Green Library into a new food growing and education space, bringing community-focused food growing activity from the iconic Wolves Lane Horticultural Centre onto the high street. The project enables local families and children to learn about food growing, nature, biodiversity, healthy eating and wellbeing, imparting lifelong skills of how to 'grow your own'.
The project has been funded by Haringey Council and the GLA as part of the High Streets for All challenge, with operational seed funding provided by The Ubele Initiative CIC. The construction was delivered by Enfield-based company BLOQS Create, who utilised innovative off-site fabrication methods and employed local tradespeople to transform this unusual site.
Please book onto one of our 3 timed sessions. Each session will be 1 hour and 15 minutes long, and will give you the chance to tour the site, chat with project partners and take part in seed sowing and food growing activities. Sessions one and two are family friendly and focussed on children and young people.
