Elsley and Corsham House Community Gardens
Elderly residents at these two housing estates are starting community growing spaces to grow fruit, vegetables, and flowers.
The projects have been started to help residents grow food, flowers, and herbs on their doorstep. Without access to allotments or community gardens at an accessible distance, these gardens that suit the elderly residents' specific access needs are to be key points of community for residents.5 GoodGymers have supported Elsley and Corsham House Community Gardens with 2 tasks.
