The vegetable garden is a green gym. The garden is a place to ‘work out’ in the open air, whilst doing something constructive.

Physically active people are up to 50% less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke.

But some gardeners need to socialise, and the BTCV Green Gym is the ideal place.

The BTCV Green Gym ® is a scheme that inspires you to improve your health and the environment at the same time. It offers you the opportunity to ‘work out’ in the open air through local, practical environmental or gardening work.

The Green Gym are looking for volunteers - and experienced gardeners have a lot to offer.

The vegetable garden provides transferable skills which will be appreciated in the Green Gym.
