All Nature: Nourishing Connections

CC

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast we learn about two amazing projects that are being supported by the Nature Neighbourhoods programme, an initiative led by WWF-UK, RSPB and National Trust.

Mary, cofounder of Granton Community Gardeners, one of the projects being supported by Nature Neighbourhoods. Mary, an older lady originally from Kenya, is standing in the garden holding a trowel. It is a sunny day and she is surrounded by greenery. Below her is a sign saying "All Welcome Granton Community Garden"

Discovering urban gardening and community growing projects supported by the Nature Neighbourhoods programme. 

In this episode of All Nature, from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we hear from two community organisations selected as part of the Nature Neighbourhoods programme. In Edinburgh, we meet the founders and participants in Granton Community Gardeners, a charity helping to improve access to fresh food and green space, which attracts people from a huge range of backgrounds, ages and nationalities. In Leeds we discover the Lincoln Greeners group, a weekly urban gardening group run by community arts organisation Mawfa Theatre. We learn how growing together is helping to overcome social isolation and is helping wellbeing for both volunteers and participants. We also speak to Nature Neighbourhoods Programme Manager Rory Crawford, of the National Trust, to understand more about how the initiative came to be, and the aims and aspirations for the three major nature organisations that lead the programme: National Trust, RSPB and WWF-UK.
