Tower Hamlets Food Growing Network (THFGN)
Grow Your Own Food
The Tower Hamlets Food Growing Network (THFGN) is a network of Tower Hamlets-based individuals, community groups and community gardens interested in food growing.
About THFGN
Created in August 2010 in response to the resurgence of community food growing activities in the borough. The Network is made up of gardeners of all stripes and is facilitated by a partnership of organisations led by WEN.
What We Do
WEN supports and co-ordinates the network by facilitating the community seed library, and hosting seasonal Network Gatherings. WEN provides food growing training and workshops, funding advice, and regular news on community gardening in the borough.
Our Goals
