Often gardening can feel like a private act – and a small environmental gesture in the face of climate change. But collective gardening can mean real, visible progress towards providing habitats for wildlife and lowering your carbon footprint – plus there are personal gains.can be daunting for a person alone. However, gardening is an excellent case of strength in numbers.
Starting a gardening group in your area is a great way to support your individual efforts to grow food, flowers and ornamental plants that beautify your neighbourhoods and home areas, while strengthening friendships. Our group meets monthly, always on a weekend, and on top of this we have developed a ritual towards the end of the year to gather for Christmas holidays in place of that month’s gardening session.
