We aim to improve our students’ lives through social and therapeutic horticulture. Gardening, plants and connecting with nature can have a positive impact on physical and psychological health and wellbeing, and general skills and abilities.
Our sessions cover basic gardening tasks adapted to our students’ needs. A combination of sensory stimulation, creativity and enjoying nature helps our students to:
- Grow in confidence
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve communication skills
- Experience a sense of community and belonging
Our approach
Students learn about nature, plants and gardening in a calm and relaxed environment. They are supported to work at their own pace based on their individual needs. There is no need for any previous knowledge of gardening.
Students can also work towards horticulture qualifications.
