It’s #CommunityGardenWeek!

Celebrate by finding out what Community Gardens and Allotments are doing across Hull by taking a look at the Hull Growers’ Handbook: 2024_Growers_handbook-min.pdf (hullfoodpartnership.org.uk)

This is a handbook for people in Hull or East Yorkshire with an interest in locally-grown fruit, vegetables and herbs. It is updated each year and is also available as a PDF download from websites including growersnetwork.org.uk and hullfoodpartnership.org.uk

This booklet is aimed at new or amateur growers, possibly families with children interested in growing their own food. There are suggestions on which veg to try growing as a beginner and when to sow. It gives advice on buying gardening
tools and is also a directory of community gardening sites in Hull that can be contacted. While it is not intended to be an exhaustive instruction manual on how to grow vegetables, it can point you towards gardens, allotments and people in and around Hull that can provide examples of how to do things successfully. Many people prefer to learn by doing, so here you will find local sites demonstrating different food growing techniques.

As a new gardener learning how to grow, the amount of information available can be overwhelming, especially on
the Internet. Advice found online may not always be suitable to local climate and soil, so the information in this
booklet has been selected with the growing conditions of Hull and East Yorkshire in mind.

If you already have a Community Garden, sign up to Good to Grow Week 22nd – 29th April – Home | Good to Grow (goodtogrowuk.org)
