The Gardening Activities Group aims to build confidence, raise self-esteem, promote physical activity and encourage social interaction.

We provide a broad variety of activities in practical and theory sessions using our garden and shared allotment.  The Gardening Activities Group runs on a Monday PM and a Wednesday AM.

We use our own evergreen foliage, hedgerow fruits and weaving materials to create seasonal gifts and Christmas decorations.

We are currenlty developing a memory garden at our main site in Darlington, whilst also carrying out the growing, maintenance of our garden onsite which is owned by Darlington Mind. 

Planning and nurturing plants can give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning – be inspired by tasting the first strawberry of the season, seeing the sweep of colour across the garden as the flowers appear.
