Urban Roots London

The Old South Community Organization is hosting their 44th annual Gathering on the Green event at the Wortley Village Green on June 6th, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

This event includes food, live entertainment, 100+ vendors, plants and flowers, a kid's corner etc.

Visit our table on the corner of Duchess Ave. and Marley Pl where we will have seedlings, t-shirts and tote bags for sale or donate to our Community Food Fund to support our work! https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/fundraising/urban-roots-london-community-food-fund

We hope to see you there!

From June 1 to June 14, help us collect donations for the London Food Bank. You can help in whatever way works best for you!

This includes donating extra groceries, providing a financial donation, volunteering with the food bank, or sharing fresh produce from your home garden.

Every contribution helps fight food insecurity, reduce food waste, and strengthen our community.

We are excited to announce that Urban Roots London will serve as a pickup location for Old River Farm’s monthly flower subscriptions!

Receive monthly bouquets from late spring to early fall for $150 + HST, and pick them up during our Wednesday Farmgate market from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM at 21 Norlan Ave.

We are so happy to be partnering with a local farm to offer beautiful, seasonal bouquets to brighten your home all summer long!
