Course description
This course explores how gardening can support your health and wellbeing. You can join if you have completed the Foundations in Gardening course, but you are also welcome if you want to start with simple gardening activities. You do not need any previous experience.
You will learn how spending time with plants and nature can improve your wellbeing, boost your confidence, and help you relax. You will take part in practical activities such as planting seeds, caring for plants, and looking after a small garden space or containers.
You will also explore how gardening can support gentle physical activity, mindfulness, and connection with others. Activities may include growing herbs or flowers, creating a small wellbeing garden, or planting to support wildlife.
The sessions are supportive and relaxed, with clear step-by-step guidance. You will have the chance to work with others, share your experiences, and enjoy time outdoors.
By the end of the course, you will have developed gardening skills that support your wellbeing and a better understanding of how gardening can contribute to a healthy lifestyle. You may also choose to continue learning through further gardening or environmental courses.
