Community gardening

Whether it’s greening a local area, starting a food growing project or conserving an area for wildlife – community gardening can have a huge impact for both people and places

Why we believe in community gardening

Plants and people have the power to create lasting change. That’s why the RHS are passionate about celebrating growing projects of all scales. Whether you’re growing herbs with a neighbour or developing a space for wildlife - creating new social connections through gardening can transform our wellbeing and environment for the better.
