Citizens’ lives (behaviour change) / employment

Promoting gardening with edible plants
A Gardening with Edibles programme was launched in April 2020, to encourage the public to garden at or close to home with edible plants. Seed packets were distributed to interested households, and spaces for community gardening will continue to be expanded. The programme will help to enhance public awareness of the value of food (thereby supporting efforts to reduce food wastage), improve mental well-being through the therapeutic effects of gardening, improve social and psychological resilience, and allow citizens to play a tangible role in the ownership and stewardship of our island’s nature.
