Green Therapy at Lillington Health Hub

We recently started our newest Green Therapy group in the garden at Lillington Health Hub in Leamington Spa - a space dedicated to growth, wellbeing, and community.

Our Green Therapy sessions so far have provided a gentle and rewarding way for participants to connect with nature, reduce stress, meet new people and find joy in nurturing plants. Whether tending to greenery, learning new skills, or simply enjoying fresh air, the group is designed to boost wellbeing through the simple act of gardening.

One of the group's key objectives is to actively enhance the garden space by introducing new plants, creating visually appealing and functional green areas, and ensuring its ongoing care through regular maintenance, allowing it to flourish as a welcoming and sustainable environment for all to enjoy.

In preparation for the garden’s official open day, we introduced a variety of planters to the garden, each brimming with vibrant, colourful plants to create a welcoming atmosphere. We also planted fruit trees, potted up Bay trees and created a space to grow vegetables and herbs. To further enhance biodiversity and and support local wildlife we installed bug hotels and have plans to add bird boxes in upcoming sessions.
