A new garden at the heart of a community has created a “safe space” for residents during lockdown.
The community garden in St Pauls, Bristol, has helped people without gardens have the freedom to do their daily exercise and be outside safely.
Having access to green space benefits mental health and has played a large role in people’s lockdown routines.
Residents said the garden has also given them “something to look forward to” after the pandemic.
Community organiser Tara Miran, who helped create the space near Grosvenor Road during the first lockdown, said it has played an important role for her family’s mental health and is a place she uses to pray and exercise.
