| Interests | I am relatively new to food growing, as I only began last year when I set up a food growing project at work. The project showed me that with a bit of knowledge, some encouragement and the right advice, you can achieve great things! And that there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of eating something completely homegrown! I am keen to share what I have learned, and share my newly found love of growing your own grub! |

Fiona Law
| Region | Lambeth |
| Town/Village | Clapham |
| Interests | Hi, I'm the Volunteer Coordinator for the South London Master Gardener programme. I started as a volunteer and took over the role in January 2011. I get a lot of enjoyment from growing fruit and veg on my allotment. Last year I focused on growing cut flowers with ornamental edibles and some heritage varieties. This year I've experimented more with growing in containers too, for the One Pot Pledge. I'm also a teacher/trainer in horticulture and garden designer. I really enjoy supporting our Master Gardeners - what a brilliant excuse to indulge chat about veg varieties, sticks and soil! I write a blog where I explore my growing and design interests, vivekagardens.com/blog/, and am, as of October 2011, a co-chair of Incredible Edible Lambeth. |

| Interests | I'm not a weathered expert but I have enough knowledge and experience to get you started. I learned about growing organic food on a 3-acre site in Brighton and now back in London I am attached to Kingsley Flats Gardening Group (on a Peabody Estate); Pembroke Community Garden (in Walworth) and Tabard Estate Community Allotment. I still have plenty to learn and I am looking for people who are willing to experiment and improvise with me, as well as get going with the basics of growing the veg, herbs and fruit you'd like to eat. |

Julia
| Region | Wandsworth |

| Interests | I work at a local Secondary School and one of my passions is gardening in my very limited spare time. My other passion is Salsa (Cuban style)! I started growing herbs on my kitchen window sill many years ago and have slowly progressed from there. It has all taken off since I moved from my 4th floor flat to a small house with a front garden. I have been able to experiment more with things like potatoes and tomatoes which take up more room. This year I grew sweetcorn for the 1st time. If you like sweetcorn it is so easy to grow. |
