Meersbrook Park Walled Garden
|
Managed in partnership with Meersbrook Park Users Trust, Meersbrook Walled Garden includes vegetable, soft fruit and herb growing areas, a Japanese-style garden, an orchard, a polytunnel and greenhouses. There are regular volunteering days and special weekend events, such as Herb Day, Tomato and Chili Day, and Apple and Pear Day. Also based at Meersbrook Walled Garden is the Ecominds project, where people with mental health difficulties can get involved in local food growing in a relaxed and friendly setting. The project provides an opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, get some fresh air and eat tasty food! As one participant put it ‘I like coming here because of the friendships I’ve made. I’ve also realised how important participating in gardening has been to my overall health.’ Sessions are held two days a week all year round. Click here to download the referral form.
