Grow for Life
We are a small Bath based mental health charity that offers free weekly social and therapeutic gardening sessions for people whose daily lives are affected by depression, anxiety, isolation and low confidence.
We have been running sessions since 2019 and, in that time, we have helped dozens of people grow in confidence, connect with other people and learn new skills - all within wonderful gardening spaces in and around the Bath area.
We currently run 3 sessions a week as follows:
Wednesdays (1-4pm) This session is held at various private gardens in and around Bath and which belong to people that, due to illness or disability, are unable to attend to their own garden regularly. We also assist other local charities who need help with keeping their garden spaces maintained.
Thursdays (10:30- 13:30) This session is held at our very own Walled Garden and orchard on the outskirts of Bath where we have the facility to plant and grow our own vegetables and is a peaceful space where people can join us in a safe and friendly environment and take things at their own pace and even share in the resulting harvest!
Saturdays (10-1pm) This session takes place at a school in the Odd Down area and involves the planting and maintaining of a vegetable garden which will shortly be providing produce for a Community Pantry in the local area.
