It was brilliant to see the fantastic work taking place at Harlem Grown, a flourishing network of urban farms supporting children and families in Upper Manhattan.
Starting out as one neglected community garden which was transformed into a thriving space, Harlem Grown has developed into a network of fourteen sites across Upper Manhattan, delivering programmes that integrate hands-on sustainable agricultural education with after-school activities, mentorship, and wider community support across New York City.
Partnering with local schools and organisations, the initiative creates safe, nurturing spaces for young people and families.
