All about Green Horizons
Whether its your window box, yard, garden, street or even local nature reserve, the Green Horizons Project is here to help you make the most of your green spaces, both at home and in the community.
Taking green action not only makes your patch more enjoyable, but also offers chances to learn new skills, get active and meet new people.
We want to:
- Inspire people to enjoy their local green spaces
- Encourage people to take action to improve their environment
- Support sustainable healthy living through advice and seasonal tips
WE WANT YOU TO GET INVOLVED!
