The power of social and therapeutic horticulture in Surrey

Tucked away behind the village medical centre in a Surrey village is a haven of positivity and growth. The Therapy Garden, which in normal times, opens for the National Garden Scheme in May and September, is a horticulture and educational charity that uses gardening to generate positive change. Even in lock down, with restricted access to the garden, the skeleton staff are looking after the crops and flowers planted earlier in the year, hoping that their clients can return to continue the nurturing process and prepare them for sale. __________________ The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,000 exceptional private gardens in England and Wales, and raises impressive amounts of money for nursing and health charities.
