Instagram Live Session - Community Gardening

Andy and Alice from our Community Outreach team went live on our Instagram channel to chat all things community gardening.
Time stamps:
4:23 - What's the best thing about Community Outreach work?
8:12 - What is the Big Seed Sow?
9:22 - I work with a Britain in Bloom group and volunteer numbers haven't recovered since the pandemic. How would you recommend we recruit new volunteers?
14:40 - How can full-time workers be involved in community gardening?
16:22 - We would love to get young people involved in our community growing group, so they feel like they have positive ownership of our space too. Who should we go about it?
21:25 - I work with SEND children - can you recommend some gardening activities I can do with them?
24:15 - How do we offer a safe space for everyone in our community garden? We want to make sure everyone feels welcome, but we tend to get the same people using the space.
33:25 - I work in a GP practice and the outside space could use a bit of TLC. We've got a lot of ideas but no money. Do you have any ideas for fundraising?
37:48 - What projects are you working on currently?
We’re inviting schools, groups and individuals to celebrate their harvest with a #RHSBigFoodShare. Whether you want to open up your garden gates and welcome in your neighbours, or use your food to support a local cause, join communities across the UK as they connect and share.
Register your interest now and we’ll let you know as soon as sign up opens:
