Community Gardens – Peebles and Innerleithen

Published 2019. It is well researched and documented that gardening is very good for your physical and mental health and can aid recovery from illness. In a community garden you get the added bonus of belonging to a like minded group of people, giving something back to the community, and the opportunity to make friends, learn from, teach, support and be supported by other people. It’s also fun, very rewarding and there is a great feel-good factor after working in the garden.
