We often hear that getting outside in nature is good for us…
But why?
There is increasing scientific evidence that regular contact with plants, nature and particularly gardening can improve our physical and mental health. Research has shown that connecting with nature can reduce feelings of anxiety and stress, boost mood and increase energy levels.
During this new course we will explore how nature and gardening can benefit our wellbeing.
You will gain an understanding into the theory of why connecting with nature can have such a beneficial effect as well as experiencing it for yourselves by taking part in practical activities.
Focusing on a different theme each week, we will be outside in nature or inside in our propagation and potting areas getting hands on with plants and learning new skills.
Examples of activities include:
