What is a Green Gym?

Green Gyms help people to improve their physical health and mental wellbeing by taking part in practical conservation work such as planting trees and gardening projects. Green Gyms are fun, free, open to everyone and no previous experience is required to take part.

Plans for Easterhouse Green Gym

In the coming months the Easterhouse Green Gym will be working in a number of local places, helping to look after woods, creating new garden areas and undertaking wildflower planting.
