Guidelines for Plant Out Day

The Hackney Right to Grow Plant Out Day, on Sunday 19th April, or any day around then, is designed to start making Hackney more edible. And to flag / identify possible new sites for food growing. We need them!

But we felt we needed some brief guidelines

  1. collect Perennial Kales, Runner Beans seedlings and beans, flags and signs from GED on Graham Road
  2. plant and/or flag at sites you think could grow food
  3. take a photo, and/or a selfie, with a what3Words,
  4. send those to us, tag us on Instagram or leave a comment below.

But – don’t plant/flag near main/busy roads. Cars, petrol and EV, create pollution that can get into food.

  • that includes the new SUDs / drainage areas on roads
  • don’t plant anywhere that is dangerous e.g. by roads
  • ⁠compliment, don’t detract from other people’s planting
  • Plant / flag responsibly!

We have a new map showing Edible Hackney, Community food growing sites in Hackney. In time we will update this site with all your photos and locations where you planted.
