Gardeners’ Tea Time: Local junior farmers

We hear from local gardening and greening experts in these pre-recorded sessions. Today, it’s the turn of eleven-year old twins, Ruby and Freddie, who are interviewed by Kentish Town City Farm’s Director Eira Gibson.

Ruby and Freddie, who attend Brookfield Primary School, cleared an unused communal area during the first COVID – 19 Lockdown in 2020. OK, this was along with some muscle from their Dad!

Our local junior farmers created a bountiful vegetable garden of nutritious crops shared with their neighbours. On any given day a neighbour would discover on their porches or steps a few carrots, another a handful of radishes, yet another several potatoes. Ruby and Freddie are currently tirelessly digging, weeding and watering their 2021 vegetable patch. Best get on their SHARE list!
