Description:
Some communities can't access green space, depriving them of the physical, mental and social benefits that nature brings. This was a sad reality for Norbert and his social housing neighbours in Surry Hills, Sydney before the Community Greening Program. Since 2000, the outreach horticulture program has established 765 community and youth-led gardens - transforming the lives of almost 160,000 people like Norbert across NSW. In the lead up to R U OK Day, explore how this popular program is changing the health and wellbeing of communities one garden at a time.
