New Malden Town Centre Partnership said: "This event aims to inspire and empower local food growing—at home, in community gardens, and public spaces. With rising costs, climate pressures, and fragile supply chains, we believe food resilience starts locally."

The Group invites you to:

• Discover projects across Kingston that need volunteers
• Learn how to grow your own food—however small your space
• Connect with others working toward a healthier, greener future

It added: "As we build community resilience through joyful, hands-on events, we hope more people will get involved in shaping a local, sustainable food system."
