HARVEST SALE
Thursday 1 October
11.30am-1pm at Market Hall, Borough Market, 8 Southwark

Pupils from 12 Southwark schools will be selling their
seasonal vegetables, grown and nurtured from seed. The
Harvest Sale is part of a project by Borough Market and
School Food Matters, a charity whose mission is to ensure
that every child enjoys fresh, sustainable food at school
and understands where their food comes from. With the help
of funding from United St Saviour's Charity, the programme
started back in the summer where pupils were taught some
green fingered tips from Blue Peter gardener, Chris Collins.
These novice gardeners are now reaping the rewards of a
sun-filled summer with bumper crops of squash, herbs,
apples, beetroot and chard. All proceeds from the sale will
go to the charity FareShare.
