Community gardening has so many benefits, both for health, the community itself, and the environment. It's great that the Albert-Eden Local Board are providing funding for Gardens4Health to deliver practical support to the community gardeners, and also encouraging participation. In this news article we have our Gardens4Health faciliator Hari in a community garden. Also see the excellent quote about the value of participation from the Local Board Chair Margi Watson “Our community gardens support wellbeing but now the harvest from them is really helpful. They connect people but they also put locally grown fruits and vegetables on the table for people that may be struggling in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic”. Have a look for your local community garden, there are over 80 we work with across the Auckland isthmus.
