A weekly session that encourages gentlemen to socialise, share traditional skills, and learn new ones, while working on their own allotment plots under the guidance of George Swordy, Deputy Head Gardener.
Spending time with nature not only helps mental wellbeing but growing and eating organic vegetables helps with overall health. Gardening has been proven to reduce anxiety and stress by improving your mood.
During the winter months the gents come indoors to participate in woodcrafts, quizzes, and winter projects.
This session runs every Thursday 10am – 12noon, plots are allotted to pre-assessed gents.
£3 per session, card payment to be made during session. Refreshments included.
The Elderberries Programmes aim is to reach the local community and to enrich the lives of everyone over the age of 55 who attend.
