GARDENING CLUB STARTER PACK
This starter pack is a collection of tried and tested resources that were used throughout the Vacant Lot programme, creating food growing gardens throughout London, supporting communities to work together to develop sustainable and positive change in their neigbourhoods. This purpose of this pack is to give you the information, practical tools and inspiration you need to set up your own Vacant Lot style community garden.

GARDEN MANAGEMENT PACK
