Activity description

Visitors to this garden often describe it as a 'hidden gem', tucked away behind a training centre and residential care home. The group look after the extensive gardens, reclaimed by TCV volunteers since 2016. The group follows the Green Gym framework, supporting people to build confidence, well being and fitness through gardening type activities. The size of the garden means that there is space for people to experiment with their own gardening styles, in line with TCV values. The group has a well established core of volunteers, as well as welcoming new comers to the group. Everyone is welcome, whether they have 60 years gardening experience, or have never gardened before in their life. To join the group, please get in contact by email first and someone will be in contact with you to arrange a conversation about joining the group.
