The Gardeners’ House is running creative community sessions with a specific focus on mental wellbeing. Find out more about these new events – a welcoming space for our community to connect with us and the spaces around us.
We run a series of workshops and activities – all based around themes of heritage, nature and wellbeing – working with all ages in our community.
We work with nurseries, schools and colleges as well as community and youth groups. We also partner with groups and organisations who support older people living with dementia, and adults living with mental health difficulties.
The Gardeners’ House also develops projects bringing different generations together – including collaborations between schools and care homes, as well as community festivals and memory collecting events.
