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.
