About the Weekly Meet Ups:
We provide a safe space within St Albans for weekly meet ups that will introduce years 9,10 and 11 students to the world of horticultural therapy!
We plan to meet indoors until spring comes at the Marshalswick Family Centre, we will provide a range of forest school activities, along with planning what to grow at the community garden and starting off seedlings.
When Spring arrives we will meet the group at our community garden, located at The Sandridge Road Allotments.
Some of the benefits to Young People are; improved mental health, emotional wellbeing, confidence and resilience, sense of self potential, improved physical health, increased life skills and knowledge about sustainability and where food comes from and how to grow your own food!
