About

Islington Master Gardeners offer food growing advice and support to local people and communities.

Islington Master Gardeners

This exciting new programme launched April 2010 in partnership with Edible Islington. It’s managed by Garden Organic and supported by the Big Lottery Fund’s Local Food scheme and Sheepdrove Trust.

We’re delighted that our first volunteer Master Gardeners are fully trained and out and about in Islington (plus some in neighbouring boroughs), acting as food growing ambassadors in their local neighbourhoods.

Master Gardeners promote the benefits of growing your own food, providing advice and hands-on support to households and the wider community. They’re actively supported by volunteer co-ordinator, Kate Fenhalls and local programme partners.
