How community gardens turn autumn harvests into shared meals for everyone
In short: The Big Soup Share initiative brings together volunteers and local students to transform seasonal produce into community nourishment. This video highlights the collaborative spirit at Erleigh Road Community Garden, demonstrating how gardening fosters intergenerational connections and shared purpose through the simple act of preparing a meal.
The Big Soup Share is a project under the Royal Horticultural Society's Campaign for School Gardening. At the Erleigh Road Community Garden in Reading, volunteers and pupils from Redlands Primary School work together to cultivate food, culminating in the creation of soup from their autumn harvest.
Founded in 1804, the Royal Horticultural Society aims to lead the world in gardening by promoting the science and art of horticulture. Their work is guided by four principles: to inspire, involve, inform, and improve, all of which are reflected in the community-focused approach seen at the Erleigh Road site.
