The Calming Garden
At Roots and Shoots we understand and advocate for the restorative power that gardening and nature has on mental health, and we are proud to host the Grounding Project. The Grounding Project is a specialist NHS horticultural therapy programme for refugees and asylum seekers living in the local area, who have experienced trauma.
We provide the Grounding Project with their own green space, the Calming Garden, where people can come together in a safe and healing environment to connect with nature, explore and practise calming techniques and receive support from qualified clinical practitioners.
