From learning about growing food to making friends, community gardens have so much to offer.<\/p>\n
They’re about sharing – both the work and the harvest and they can have very positive social, economic and environmental impacts in communities.<\/p>\n
They create an awareness of the local area and can transform overgrown, unloved spaces into welcoming, vibrant places. Community gardens are usually open to all ages, from seasoned gardeners to complete beginners.<\/p>\n
Learning by doing is the best way to develop confidence in new skills and participants are encouraged to practice what they’ve learnt in their own allotments, gardens or balconies.<\/p>\n
