Summary

Description

We want to create a Community Garden in the Citadel playground. Citadel children, young people, parents/carers and older people will be involved in every part of the project from making wooden planters, through planting and tending seasonal fruit and vegetables to using the produce to cook healthy meals in our groups.

This project will be a great way to educate children, young people and their families about about the benefits of locally produced food and sustainable development. It will also promote healthy, affordable fresh meals at a time when the prices of processed food are rocketing. We also know that making and growing things together is great for the mental health and wellbeing of all ages. Finally, involving older people in our intergenerational cafe will be an opportunity to share wood working, gardening and cooking skills between the generations.
