We’re continuing to develop our community garden which after a year of development now has raised beds for food-growing for the Village Larder. Our social gardeners successfully grew food from a pop-up for the larder last year whilst developing the community garden. Growing food together is educational, brings people together socially to exercise outdoors. Growing for the larder encourages community engagement and purpose, it provides a source of healthy produce for people on lower incomes. Developing other areas of the garden to provide a restful, communal green space will encourage more volunteer-engagement,and is good for mental and physical health.
