The project is to build a health and wellbeing garden within the Baytree Garden Centre. It will give us several opportunities to enhance people’s health and wellbeing those experiencing, loneliness, low level mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, young mums with postpartum depression, bereavement. We will be offering bowling for health as the garden centre has offered us a free garden space that would be suitable to this activity.
The project will develop a small outdoor space that will incorporate a sensory garden and offer the opportunity for occasional speakers to talk about health and wellbeing. In addition, we will also offer Tai Chi exercise
in the outdoor space. Individuals will also be offered the opportunity to take part in a therapeutic art group, this will be run from Doodle Art Centre, based in Baytree. The opportunities included clay workshops, pottery painting and drawing and painting. We have secured space to have a weekly Coffee Connect group, where people can meet and have a chat over a cuppa.
