Azerbaijani Youth at Harvest Festival

Is there anything more positive, healthier and better than enjoying amazingly natural vegetable barbeques in the centre of St' James park at Harvest Festival? By luck, last Sunday was a warm shiny day when group of Azerbaijani youth headed to central London. And we absolutely ACCIDENTALLY have visited the Harvest Festival at St James's Park.

St James's Park Allotment volunteers tell us that we don't need a large garden to grow our own food. Lots of different fruit and vegetable will flourish in the smallest pots. So if you have a patio, balcony, window box or just a window sill you can enjoy the fun of producing healthy cheap food. It is very easy to become a member of London’s Harvest Festival and support its projects.

The Royal Parks Allotment at St James's Park offers a wealth of inspiration for all the family. This year alongside the allotment and herb garden we'll show you how to grow potatoes, salads, and greens in containers, raised beds and confined spaces. Why not come inside and explore for yourself, completely free of charge? Our green-fingered experts will be on hand to provide friendly advice and tips for your garden. We hope you'll be a friend of the allotment and return again to observe the fascinating development during the season.

And that’s what we did! We grabbed ourselves a plate and fork and enjoyed "finger licking tasty" veg barbeques full of vitamins and energy!
