Why a community garden?
A community garden can:
- build community – a sense of community develops through participation and common enterprise
- reduce environmental impact – by reducing food miles and recycling waste
- improve nutritional health – by increasing the consumption of fresh, organic, locally grown food
- create opportunity – for skill-sharing, friendships and learning
- create purposeful recreation – by getting people growing food and reconnecting them with nature
