Gairn Community Garden: A Hub for Mental Health and Wellbeing

About the project

The Gairn Community Garden project aims to create a community space where local residents can engage in gardening, social interaction, and mental health workshops. By providing a welcoming green space, the garden will help reduce social isolation, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and offer educational activities focused on nature and gardening. The project supports mental health by encouraging social connection, offering stress-relief activities, and fostering a sense of belonging for vulnerable groups like refugees, older residents, and families facing socio-economic challenges.
