CardenEden
Ore Valley Housing Association’s CardenEden Project was set up to support our local community and encourage a sense of unity and promote positive mental health and well being. The aim of the project was initially to encourage the community to come together and maintain identified green spaces throughout the village.
These spaces include our community planters that have already been a success with members of the public growing fresh produce that can then be shared with the rest of the community.
The project was unfortunately negatively impact by Covid-19 and social distancing prevented face-to-face activities.
To ensure the project had a lasting legacy, a variety of content including details on starting your garden from scratch, step by step guides on how to grow your own vegetables, zero waste gardening, composting and re-purposing waste items into planters are provided here, written by our then Horticultural Mentors Jo and Lewis. To support these there will also be step by step video guides.
The content for this web page is inspired with the community's mental health in mind with guides such as 'creating a sanity garden' and monthly jobs to keep you busy outdoors have been written to help.
