Potager Community Garden CIC

We’ve recently completed a feasibility study to investigate the potential of delivering a programme of Social and Therapeutic Horticulture activities at Potager. We’re very encouraged by the results and are in the process of seeking some initial funding to deliver a one year pilot project.

According to Thrive, the benefits of a sustained and active interest in gardening include:

• Better physical health through exercise and learning how to use or strengthen muscles to improve mobility

• Improved mental health through a sense of purpose and achievement

• The opportunity to connect with others – reducing feelings of isolation or exclusion

• Acquiring new skills to improve the chances of finding employment

• Just feeling better for being outside, in touch with nature and in the ‘great outdoors’
