Lambeth Schools are growing

The-Norwood-School-Garden

In 2025, Incredible Edible Lambeth was awarded a small amount of funding by Lambeth Council’s Public Health team to support school food growing.

We have:

  • Provided 15 schools with baby plants in March, June and September
  • Worked with Heathbrook and Stockwell primary schools, provided monthly growing sessions for children, plants and a small grant
  • Launched an exemplar programme for schools which included a small grant of £250; plus photographing and capturing their information for our website. 

 

We will hold a schools’ food growing conference in early 2026. Please fill in this form if you would like to take part.

EXEMPLAR SCHOOLS

IEL has worked with four schools in 2025, capturing information about the rich and varied ways that Lambeth schools are supporting food growing. 

Each school is very different – some have years of experience of developing their food growing project, and some are nearer the beginning of their journey. Some have larger amounts of space, and some have almost none. 

Our aim is to celebrate the achievements of people who are driven by passion for food growing. We want to highlight the fantastic ways that they are managing, usually with very little funding, to change children’s lives by growing their own food.
