Wellbeing garden
Being outside is proven to have a positive impact on mental health. Come along to our Wellbeing Garden in Dogsthorpe to get into the great outdoors!
Visit our Wellbeing Garden project on Olive Road, Welland (located between nos. 37 and 39 Olive Road).
Being out in green spaces and getting in touch with nature is proven to be good for your mental health and improves your mood. So stop by to take a look at what we are growing on Wednesdays 10am - 3pm.
If you would like to volunteer at the garden, there are lots of different ways you can get involved. You can have your own garden area to look after or join in with others. No prior gardening experience is necessary, but if you know your pansies from your petunias, why not share your knowledge with others?
The garden is a safe environment for you to come together with others, get some exercise and fresh air and build your confidence.
