How school gardens foster health and community connection
In short: Discover how students at Hammersmith Academy use gardening to improve wellbeing and connect with adults facing social isolation through the RHS Campaign for School Gardening.
The video highlights the work of Hammersmith Academy in London, where students and staff participate in gardening to promote better health. These students, who have previously won the RHS School Gardening Team of the Year award, also garden alongside adults at risk of social isolation at a nearby community centre with the Hammersmith Community Garden Association.
The RHS, a gardening charity founded in 1804, supports these efforts through its Campaign for School Gardening. The initiative provides educators with free teaching resources, online training, and an awards scheme to integrate plants into school life and nurture young minds.
