Wellness, Community Gardens & Engagement
About
I create community gardens and deliver Social and Therapeutic Horticulture programmes (STH for short) if needed, within them.
I can plan all aspects from simple workshops or stand alone designs, to complete scaled garden drawings and roadmaps for engagement.
I also enjoy delivering a range of art & craft workshops for children and young adults, for well-being and connection.
My skills in this multi faceted community arena have been shaped by a series of life long passions and targeted training to give me the knowledge and skills to assess and plan a space and make it work for the community. I often include opportunities for education, action and engagement. I can lead a complete project including managing grant funded projects or I can create a specific focus within an existing plan to help achieve an outcome.
Social prescribers: For Social and Therapeutic Horticulture programmes and engagement, please see the STH page or get in touch to discuss your needs.
This is a newly planted raised bed at Arundells. The new shoots and first leaves were for some of our participants, the very first thing they had ever grown.
A garden setting invites people to slow down and forget about all the things they are otherwise permanently plugged into. People are drawn to talk, laugh, breathe, look, connect and decompress. The subtle but deep effects of this, over time, are lasting and utterly life changing for some.
This is why I advocate for real initiatives and will only take a project on that is born out of genuine interest and passion; for community well-being and resilience.
