The next allotment work day will be Saturday 11 October from noon – 4pm. If you have some spare time this Saturday please do come up and help! No experience needed, and it’s a good opportunity to learn a little bit more about growing.
The plot is right next to the Whitehawk Community Food Project (map). For more information contact Ann at food*at*transitionbrightonandhove.org.uk

Spare jam pots would also be much appreciated!
Greenspeak: Whose Land Is It Anyway? - Tue 10 June
Reconnecting Land with People and Communities Greenspeak returns on Tuesday 10 June, 7pm for 7.30 start at The Old Market, Upper Market St, Hove BN3 1AS, £donation
Brighton and Hove's public green forum has returned, all very welcome.
Speakers:
Martin Large, Chair of the Community Land Trust National Demonstration Project at Salford University, and a pioneer of the land for people movement
Neil Ravenscroft, Professor of Cultural Policy at the University of Brighton, and Director of Tablehurst Farm Ltd
Chair, Ian Lawton, community activist
As Peak Oil pushes up food prices, concern for food security and food poverty rises.
This month we ask:
How can we regain community ownership over decisions affecting our land?
How can we create permanently affordable homes or increase local food sourcing?
How does land pricing act as a barrier and how do we overcome that?
What is the future for Brighton and Hove Council's 11,000 acres of farm estate?
What can we learn from initiatives such as Community-Supported Agriculture and Community Land Trusts?
Who decides and what do you think?
Relaxed, sociable, informative, fun. Bar will be open before, during and after the event - apologies, food will not be available.
