“I am just gonna say one word, and that is “Phenomenal”.”

“Being part of the garden has given me a sense of community that I didn’t have before. I see familiar faces every week, and we greet each other warmly and offer help when needed. Everyone is invested in making the garden beautiful, and it shows. We share tools, seeds, and advice, and that cooperation makes the experience so rewarding. It’s wonderful to see people of all ages working together. I feel more connected to my neighbours and more proud of my home because of this shared space. The garden has transformed our community into a place where people truly care for each other.“

“I love that the garden brings a touch of nature to our busy neighbourhood. The greenery, flowers, and fresh vegetables makes a real difference to the environment. I see how it helps air quality, attracts wildlife, and encourages sustainable living. It inspires me to make small changes in my own life too. The garden also teaches children and visitors about caring for the earth. Every time I walk past, I feel uplifted and hopeful. It’s a place that proves that even a small effort can have a big impact on the environment and our community. “

“The garden has made me more aware of my surroundings and the environment. It’s amazing to see how even a small green space can make a neighbourhood feel alive.“

“The gardens are so good. I love it here. My family comes here every year. Even though we live in Flemingdon, we always come here because of the sense of community and the fun. Everything feels so fresh and so perfect here.” 

“I have been volunteering at the garden. The garden has made me more aware of my surroundings and the environment. It’s amazing to see how even a small green space can make a neighbourhood feel alive. I notice more birds, insects, and greenery around me now. Being part of this garden makes me feel like I’m contributing to something meaningful. The composting and sustainable practices we follow also make me more conscious of waste. I feel proud that I’m helping the environment in a small but important way. Seeing the garden flourish reminds me that nature thrives when people care for it.”

“I love it here. I come every year with my siblings and it just makes me feel so connected to nature. I am going to volunteer more and try to support such a good initiative. “

“I just love it here. I come sometimes because of my busy schedule but whenever I am here I feel so nice and welcoming. Everyone is working so hard and they are keeping the gardens so nice.”

“The gardens are a way for me to feel connected to the community. I love coming here. “

“The garden has helped me connect with neighbours I’ve never met before. We share stories, gardening tips, and sometimes even meals we’ve grown ourselves. There’s a sense of camaraderie that I’ve never experienced elsewhere. Working side by side with others makes me feel like I belong to something bigger than myself. Even people who were strangers now feel like friends. We celebrate small successes together, like a good harvest or a blooming flower. The garden has truly become a hub of friendship and support in our community.”
