GARDENS THAT GROW THE COMMUNITY
15 Aug 2019
With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to create a community garden that activates the outdoors for the locals. APR’s range of WPC products are ideal for creating a safe and sustainable garden that the whole community can enjoy.
Community gardens provide a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all abilities, interests and backgrounds to share in the physical and emotional benefits of working with nature outdoors. Community gardens encourage physical health and wellbeing, and by planting fresh and organic fruit and vegetables, they also encourage internal health and a good diet.
The benefits of these community hubs are numerous and councils are beginning to realise how valuable these public spaces can be. With spring almost sprung, there is no better time to build a garden for your community that gets them outdoors, growing fresh produce and assisting the environment.
When building a community garden, it is imperative that the materials used are environmentally sound and stable to ensure the plants grow to the best of their ability and to minimise carbon footprint. Community gardens are a great way to use recycled products, minimising waste that goes into landfill.
Advanced Plastic Recycling (APR) has a range of sustainable Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) products that are ideal for any community garden. WPC products are made from wood fibre or wood flour and thermoplastics. They are non-toxic, splinter-free, termite-resistant, water-resistant and low maintenance – perfect for a sustainable community garden.
Garden beds can be easily built to custom sizes and heights with absolutely no engineering required, making APR’s products a simple and sustainable option that allows your garden to be constructed quickly and without fuss.
