Butterflies, pollinators and making bug hotels
Saturday 27th June
2pm-4.30pm at the farm
We rely on butterflies, bees and other pollinators for our food and this workshop will teach you who are the pollinators. You’ll spend time in the food-growing garden learning about the plants and seeing how they provide nectar and pollen for the insects and then grow food for people to eat. To encourage and support our pollinator population we’ll also make some bug hotels for them.

We celebrated our 50th Birthday in 2022
We have a rich history, kickstarted by Ed Berman who mobilised a community to improve its neighbourhood and create imaginative spaces for children to play and explore. Inter-Action steered by Ed, found farm buildings and stables and had a radical idea, to create a “City Farm”. This was the start of not only our own incredible history but of the whole City Farm movement. Today, Kentish Town City Farm is a hub, a place where everyone can get their hands dirty, care for real life animals, share their skills or learn new ones. Others come for the tranquillity, a haven for wildlife and sanctuary from the busy city.
Throughout the last fifty years we have relied on your support to make the farm the special place it is today. We hope you can continue to support us in keeping the farm community vibrant for another 50 years to come.
