Green Synergy

Green Synergy is an award-winning Lincoln-based gardening and horticulture charity that supports people to socialise, learn and thrive. We use community gardening and therapeutic horticulture to help people improve their mental health and wellbeing. Our charity supports people of all ages, particularly those in deprived communities across Lincolnshire. We currently manage two gardens, Hillside Garden and Ellie’s Memorial Garden. Through community gardening, volunteering, warm spaces and community events, we bring people together, create opportunities, improve green spaces and reconnect communities with nature and growing. We work with disadvantaged communities and people with additional needs, including those with mental health conditions, learning difficulties, physical disabilities, long-term health conditions and unemployment. Gardening helps build life and work skills, improve health and wellbeing, and educate people about the environment, food and green spaces.
