Serenity Garden
This summer we have started work on our serenity garden made possible through funding from Karbon Homes, and help from Stanley Town Council who placed beautiful hanging baskets all around our centre and the entrance into the garden.
With the help of our fantastic volunteers, we set about transforming our garden space into a positive project which will help to promote good health and wellbeing.
The aim is to produce fruit, edible flowers and herbs that could be used in our Tea Room, as well as providing a relaxing and therapeutic space everyone can enjoy.
We also have a purpose-built all-weather summerhouse where we will be running craft workshops, group work and inviting alternative therapists in to conduct reiki, aromatherapy, and life coaching sessions. We also have retreat days to help women and young girls unwind. This tranquil space will be a restful oasis which will aid mental, physical, spiritual and emotional wellness.
