The idea

The Yuvanis Community Garden project aims to create a collaborative green space for food cultivation, sustainability, and social connections. It will promote food security, wellbeing, and social cohesion by transforming under-utilised green and non-green spaces around the community centre. Participants will access fresh produce, engage in skills development and enjoy physical activity through this project. The project will enhance biodiversity, reduce carbon footprint, and beautify the neighbourhood for environmental sustainability. Through knowledge sharing, mentorship, and involving youth, it will empower individuals and strengthen community ties, fostering a vibrant and resilient neighbourhood.
