Mental health services

Therapeutic gardening greatly benefits mental health and well being.
Connecting with the natural world through planting, weeding and harvesting,
nature art and walking meditation, has been proven to support
reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms.
Promote mindfulness, enhances cognitive functions, and uplift mood.

Participant workshops

Therapeutic horticulture workshops are a fantastic addition to mental health service participants and clients. The workshops can be a one-off activity or an ongoing series of workshops. These can be incorporated into ongoing recovery programs and compliment other existing activities.

Mental health staff programs

Workers in the mental health sector hugely benefit from Therapeutic Horticulture. I offer 2 services for mental health workers.

Incorporating TH in your practice

We assist staff to integrate TH tools and methods into ongoing work with clients. Content can be delivered as an active workshop, with staff experiencing hands on activities, or as a talk.

Workplace wellbeing programs

These workshops aim to boost staff wellbeing with a day of healing and relaxation. Specifically, those who work directly with clients and patients. Practitioners spend a day in the garden or out in nature and enjoy the wonderful benefits of therapeutic horticulture.

Setting up garden spaces

We work closely with you and your staff to create a green healing space at your workplace.

We get together to plan and build a space that is right for your:

• team

• budget

• available space

• capacity for ongoing maintenance.

Getting staff involved in the creation of their own space nurtures a sense ownership and enhanced sense of connection and belonging.
