Garden / Community Space

There are many ways that you can make your Neighbourhood greener as well as making it work for yourself. You can do this is many ways, you could set up a community group that meets daily to take care of the crops or even by yourself in your own garden.

Growing your own Fruit and Vegetables you will drastically reduce your food’s carbon footprint and has your food would be fresh you will also be getting more vitamins, antioxidants and minerals which in turn will benefit you health by boosting your immune system.

The food you grow is also less likely to have involved the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, which harm the environment and interfere with the eating patterns of local wildlife. Therefore, by growing your own food, and growing it organically, you are improving the quality of the local environment for wildlife (including bees, birds and bats), and preventing chemicals being leeched into local rivers (which can kill fish).
