Harvest Festival 2026 | Growing Communities

Community gardens and urban farms are far more than growing spaces. They are places where strangers become neighbours, where knowledge is shared across generations and people get a chance to reconnect with the food they eat . This panel brings together leaders from three London community growing spaces to share their stories — how their gardens and farms came to be, who they serve, and what they’ve learned about the relationship between growing things and growing communities.

Speakers include: Leanne Werner, co-founder and director of Wilder, Conor Gallagher, founder of Allotme, and JC Niala, writer, historian, anthropologist and artist
