Field notes
How to spot a great programme.
Our half-acre plot has raised beds, a polytunnel and a wildlife pond. Volunteers of every age grow fruit and vegetables for the food bank and community kitchen, and GPs refer patients here for social prescribing because gardening with others is good for body and mind.
Distinguishing features
- Raised beds for wheelchair users
- Produce goes to the food bank and community meals
- Learn to grow from seed to harvest
- Social prescribing partner for local GP surgeries
- Tea, cake and good company every session
