The Gardener’s Collective
The Gardener’s Collective is a community gardening project based at Home Farm, Arlington Court, with a focus on encouraging connection with nature through exploration of the garden. They aim to give people of all ages the opportunities and confidence to give growing a go, inspiring a love of the natural environment whilst reaping the physical and mental benefits of engaging with the outdoors.
