Gardening isn’t just about being kinder to the environment, there are lots of other benefits:
-
you can save money by growing your own flowers, fruit and vegetables, from a few pounds up to hundreds of pounds a year
-
it is a good form of relaxation and very therapeutic
-
it’s a good way of keeping fit
-
it can be sociable: communal gardening, allotment, gardening club, conversation starters
BTCV is a volunteer organisation which runs the Green Gym programme. This joins together fitness, gardening and conservation and is a communal way to be active and meet people.
