Growing Workplaces at Stormont
The Stormont Estate workplace allotments were launched in May 2012 for Northern Ireland Civil Service staff based within the Stormont Estate. The project was the first of its kind in Northern Ireland.
Its purpose is to encourage a healthy recreational activity which is easily accessible from the workplace and which contributes to the overall health and wellbeing of staff. As well as to allow staff access to their own local, low cost, fresh food and to learn new skills as a team. Workplace growing is good for the bottom line too and office plants have been shown to improve productivity by 38%!
