An activity with Oakwood Hall Green Gym
Activity date: Thursday 24th July 2025
Start time: 10:00
Finish time: 14:00
Visitors to this garden often describe it as a 'hidden gem', tucked away behind Oakwood Hall, a residential property and training centre operated by Inspire North. This group looks after the impressive, mature gardens through a combination of food growing, conservation, woodwork and gardening activities. The group builds on peer support and mentoring, supporting people to build confidence, well being and fitness through gardening type activities. The two acre garden allows lots of opportunity to try out new gardening techniques and enjoy the peaceful 'oasis' that is Oakwood Hall. The group is for people of all abilities and experience, so if you are brand new to gardening, or have 60 years experience. Everyone has something to bring, and something to learn, at Oakwood Hall. The session starts at 10, with a refreshments and a light snack at 11:30. We finish the activity session at 1pm, when lunch is provided. All food is provided by TCV and Inspire North.
Please get in contact with hollybush@tcv.org.uk, 0113 274 2335 before attending your first session. Please wait in the Inspire North training centre (using What3Words below). The gardens are part of the home of the people who live in the residential centre, so please don't go into the garden unless a TCV staff member is with you.

Full details of the group will be given when you contact Hollybush about joining the group. We will be outside for the whole session, so please wrap up warm if the weather is cold, and wear clothes you don't mind being inside and getting a bit mucky in. Thanks to Garfield Weston and Sovereign Health Care Community Programme for their support of the project.
