We work with our group in a number of ways. Members may start with one-to-one teaching, and if comfortable, may then graduate to small groups, usually containing a maximum of 4 people.
Our Therapeutic Horticulture Lead teaches horticulture skills at a pace that suits the individual. Depending on the season, a range of skills are shared which may include:
- Bed preparation, sowing seeds and learning about crop rotation
- maintaining and managing crops
- harvesting crops (some goes to the food bank to support local communities)
- pruning and cuttings.
Throughout the day, which typically lasts from 10:00 to 15:00, we have regular breaks with hot drinks and snacks, and share a lunch. By arrangement, people can come for a morning, an afternoon or a full day, depending on our opening times and the season.
