Wellbeing is the main focus in the Grow club garden, and we acknowledge how important being in green spaces help support our wellbeing. We spend time in the garden that best fits how we are doing on the day, we practice mindfulness and taking care of our mental and physical wellbeing whilst working at our own space and speed. We encourage relaxation, connecting with nature and learning new skills to keep ourselves and the garden nourished . We will also be having our monthly shared meal after our growing session, please bring a small lunch to eat with the group in the garden, if you have not been to one of our induction days, please sign up to the next one to be able attend the next shared meal.
