Last week we explored the mental health benefits of gardening. The results of the studies are clear. So, what are the benefits of community gardens, and where can you find them in London.

Benefits of Gardening:

• Reduction of stress

• A sense of having an end goal - taking part in physical work that has a purpose.

• Within urban spaces like cities, it’s a great distraction from the chaos of the city, helping people get through moments of mental tiredness

Benefits of Community Gardening:

• Developing real life social networks

• The feeling of pride in your local space, and a sense of duty.

• Also its a great way to express your knowledge, which is great for boosting your confidence.
