Working in partnership

We have been working in partnership with The Ubele Initiative, co-steward of the Wolves Lane Horticultural Centre, and Black-Led intergenerational food growing enterprise Black Rootz over the past 3 years to develop the Eat Wood Green project. 

The site is being operated by The Ubele Initiative and will offer an exciting education programme centred around food growing for local school children, families and young people. Through this project, the formerly unusable library balcony has been transformed into a thriving hub of activity where local families and children can learn about food growing, nature, biodiversity, healthy eating and how to 'grow your own'.

The site creates a vital new link between the town centre and Wolves Lane, and transplants some of the impactful work being done there to the high street, as well as providing a much-needed new green space to the town centre and diversifying the offer at the Library.

Funding

Funding is being provided by Haringey Council, the Mayor of London's High Streets for All programme, and The Ubele Initiative CIC. 

This project is part of Shaping Wood Green which seeks to transform the town centre into one of the most liveable in London, creating positive change centred on the needs of residents and businesses.
