About Community Gardens
Community Gardens play an important part for many people whether as a place of refuge, somewhere to get some alone time, to meet new people, grow food & improve their neighbourhood environment.
Often used for educational purposes to improve understanding and practical skills community gardens can play a vital role in linking the modern way of living with something perhaps a bit more meaningful and real.
At least that is my take!
So go on and find a community garden near you and get involved. Many are looking for volunteers to bring their skills to help improve the garden for all of those using it!
