Green Dreams provides a two-hour gardening session per week for people experiencing low mental health or bereavement. The sessions include teamwork to enhance community gardens, guided therapeutic walks and nature-based activities.​​​​
The project supports attendees in enhancing their self-confidence and social mobility, encourages and engages participants in environmental activities, and promotes physical and mental well-being.
Attendees benefit from travelling to new places, interacting with new people, and working in a team to enhance community gardens.
Barkantine Clinic Wellbeing roof garden
Seeds for Growth's social prescribing outreach initiative, has been delighted to partner with Activities Coordinator Christine Lewis and the incredible team at Advance UK to deliver engaging growing sessions for the adults they support.
So far, participants have brought life to the growing space outside the old surgery on the Quarterdeck—planting daffodils, onions, garlic, and broad beans. Some of these will soon find their way to the Barkantine Clinic’s well-being roof garden, contributing to a more vibrant, healing environment.
It’s been a joy to see the enthusiasm and connection this project is cultivating in the community
