We have what we call a ‘friendly’ garden at a place called Eagle Hall. Here you can ‘get friendly’ with gardening, the natural environment and other people wishing to do the same things.
The site is deep in the Lincolnshire countryside, between Lincoln and Newark and has woodland, meadow and garden areas. We are friendly and flexible and help you learn about, and benefit from, gardening and other stuff related to the countryside. We always try to do this in a way that suits you best for example we run sessions devoted to those living with dementia and their carers. We also aim to be as friendly as we can to the environment and are interested in doing things ‘the old way’. We run a series of Wellbeing and creative workshops as well as one off events, Crafternoon teas and other things. Since COVID 19 lockdown we have developed a new range of programmes to support peoples wellbeing and establishing some more outdoor areas.
The site is always developing so there’s a lot to do but we are working hard sorting it out. If you’d like the experience of helping out on the site or offering relevant activities for people as a volunteer let us know.
On site we currently offer:
friendship days, Quicknics and Crafternoon teas for older people, those living with dementia and carers
wellbeing and creative workshops
family fun days and one off events
group visits, gardening and craft learning sessions
We offer our services off-site by:
giving talks to garden and flower clubs, WIs, and other groups
We also have a range of plants for sale at certain times of the year and can make stuff, like flower arrangements, bird boxes etc., that we sell to help keep us running. Details of these, and the sessions we are offering at a particular time, can be found on the Sage Products page.
If you have any ideas about things we could do or want to come along and help please contact us.
Our current information is on our Facebook Page and also on Facebook at Escapetothewoodseaglehall
