Green Synergy is an award-winning Lincoln based gardening and horticulture charity that supports people to socialise, learn and thrive. Our work focuses on supporting people in the most under-served and deprived communities in Lincolnshire to improve their mental and physical wellbeing. Green Synergy enables people to learn skills for life, for work and encourages people to care for themselves, each other and the environment. Our charity delivers services including community gardening and therapeutic horticulture to improve people's mental and physical wellbeing as well as community engagement programmes to support people living at the heart of the under-served communities in Lincoln.

Our charity currently manages two community gardens, Hillside Garden and Ellie’s Memorial Garden, developing outreach urban gardening and our work supports people of all ages in the most under-served communities in Lincolnshire to improve their mental and physical wellbeing. The ward where we are based is in the bottom 25% of all neighbourhoods in England and its health deprivation is very acute being in the worst 18% in England.

We are such much more than a gardening charity with volunteering, older people warm and cool spaces activities and community engagement events to bring people together in our community gardens and spaces and to support people living in Lincolnshire to improve their mental health and wellbeing.  

Green Synergy was delighted to have been awarded the Best Gardening and Horticulture Charity 2023 & 2024- East Midlands Award.
