The professional experience reported refers to the practice of supervised internship in Social and Community Psychology, developed in 2017, with an intergenerational community garden group. The work was carried out in a social assistance institution in a municipality in the interior of the state of São Paulo. With the objective of promoting human development and fostering group formation among its participants, the practical activities developed in the garden were understood and organized as means-activities to promote group development and constitution. Over the course of the year, the intergenerational group held more than thirty weekly meetings in which, in addition to practical activities in the garden, there were also conversation circles, discussion of short films, group dynamics, among others. We highlight as main results of this intervention observed among the group members: the learning of various cultivation techniques; the strengthening of interpersonal relationships; the development of group autonomy and self-organization; and its constitution as an important support network for its members.
