Venn Street Market is going GREEN this July with two local events…

Venn Street Market’s Garden Plant Sale – plants grown on farm Lincolnshire with Stevens of Sibsey
Saturday 11th July from 10am to 3pm

Our brilliant flower stall will be holding a Garden Plant Sale on this day – they are specialist growers of hardy perennials and British ambassadors of Lincolnshire grown plants. If any customers want to make orders in advance they can contact the farm direct or visit them on Saturdays at Venn Street Market where they sell their flowers. Contact: stevensofsibsey1@gmail.com for any pre orders..

AND..

Clapham Leaf Club’s Grand Finale – Food growing project with local schools since 2010!
Saturday 11th July from 10am to 3pm

Each July the Market celebrates the summer harvest by holding a Grand Finale. All participating schools stand side by side selling the plants they’ve grown from seed and recipes made from their harvest. The Finale helps to raise funds for the School programme. Everyone’s a winner..

There is an abundance of edible plants from the schools’ summer harvests. A humongous effort is made each year by the pupils, teachers, parents and volunteers making this project a success. A big thanks to everyone involved.

CLAPHAM LEAF CLUB

Clapham Leaf Club began in 2010 when all pupils from Clapham Manor Primary School were given one seed each to grow into an edible plant to sell at the Market’s Grand Finale. Today the project works with pupils across Clapham‘s primary schools helping them to learn all aspects of growing food from seed.

Participating schools: Bonneville, Clapham Manor, Heathbrook, St Mary’s RC

IMAGINE: 2

In 2023 the Market held its second art competition Imagine: 2 where young artists from the local primary schools were invited to Imagine their Green environment and where their food comes from.

The winning designs were printed onto the latest Market tote bags now only £5 each (made of organic and fairtrade cotton). Just the right size bag for your fruit & veg!

Participating school: Bonneville / Clapham Manor / Heathbrook / St Mary’s RC
