Recognise the importance of gardening and horticulture

Petition Details

We call on the Government to recognise the importance of gardening and horticulture, not just to the UK economy, but to the health and wellbeing of people, and ask for policies to recognise its importance across all relevant Government departments.

Additional Information

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that gardening has health and wellbeing benefits, both in terms of physical activity to being beneficial to suffers of mental health issues. These benefits cut across all age ranges, from young people learning about healthy eating and where our food comes from through "growing their own" to older generations benefiting from regular physical activity which has beneficial implication in terms of mental and physical wellbeing.
