Recent studies have shown that gardening significantly reduces depression and anxiety whilst improving social functioning. At the Drive Eco project our supported individuals have been working hard growing vegetable plants to help those beginner gardeners start their own gardening journey. These organically grown vegetable plants will be for sale at the Drive office next Tuesday the 13th of June 11am – 2pm.
