THE WINDRUSH FOOD FEST’
19 children attended ‘The Windrush Food Fest’ at Wolves Lane Horticultural and Garden Centre. This festival commemorated and celebrated the contribution that the Windrush Generation made to the growing and distribution of healthy, nutritious foods in Haringey.
The children had a tour of the 3.5 acre horticulture centre; visits to the tropical Palm House as well as hands on planting and food tasting. They also attended a talk from poet and writer Nefertiti, who was 4 years old when she came to England on the Empire Windrush passenger ship in 1948 and wrote about her first impression of England.
