Yesterday at Heart and Parcel, we enjoyed meeting passionate individuals and supported them in transforming a disused space into a food-growing community. Just one of the benefits of joining Manchester's free community food growing programme.

Despite the poor weather, it looks like we're going to have a great apple crop this autumn, these young trees are growing at Woodward Court in Ancoats, an MCC property providing temporary accommodation for people affected by homelessness.

Thanks Ciarán from Sow the City for our workshop at the Lalley Community Allotment about growing vegetable plug plants from seed.

This is part of a new pilot project with the RHS - Royal Horticultural Society enabling inmates at HMP Manchester to grow vegetable plants which will then be distributed to community gardens like ours to care for and harvest from.

We can't wait to plant them!
