Being around plants and working a garden can help people feel calmer and more relaxed and decreases anxiety, it also provides space to share knowledge across generations. This is why the community of Calmar focused on developing a Community Garden for their project. Their community garden offers a sustainable, land-based opportunity for connection, enhanced wellbeing, and climate change. Community members who struggle with food security can receive donations of fresh food items made to the Calmar Food Bank, ensuring all community members can benefit from the project.
