Foxhole Community Garden

foxhole community garden

Dartington Estate

Foxhole Community Garden CIC was founded in May 2015 by three childhood friends Zoe Jong, Kate Baker and Penny Hendy. The aim was to bring back into use Foxhole Community Garden as a resource for the local community and a place to offer therapeutic gardening sessions and gardening sessions for families. Our mission is to create and sustain an accessible, welcoming garden of use to people of all ages and sectors of the community. We use organic no-dig gardening methods and are working to create insect and wildlife habitats to encourage biodiversity in the garden. Zoe Jong is the garden co-ordinator and on-the-ground presence at the garden. A grower, gardener and forest school leader she runs most of the sessions at the garden and is the person to contact about the day-to-day running of the garden. C0- director Penny Hendy is a primary school teacher while director Kate Baker works as a children’s book editor. Alongside steering the overall vision and direction of the garden they provide administrative, governance and moral support which are invaluable in getting the project off the ground.

The Yorkshire Garden School

Gardening, horticulture and garden design courses in Yorkshire So many people are afraid of making mistakes in the garden that they end up leaving well alone. Shrubs go unpruned, becoming leggy and woody; weeds are not recognised and end up taking over; climbers are ‘tidied up’ just before flowering, losing all the lovely blossom year after year.

I help busy women who want to garden for their wellbeing but struggle to find the time and headspace, to actually get started. I love helping time-poor women who struggle to prioritise their own wellbeing, because I know what it’s like to be on the hamster wheel of life, constantly going at 100 miles an hour and not knowing how to get off, despite desperately wanting to.

Garden in Mind

garden in mind

Bromley

Hello, I am Heather Collyer. In the last two years, my love for gardening as a practical paid profession has evolved into a life raft, enabling me to slow down the frantic charge of anxious thoughts so that I can see them with a sense of safety and purpose brought about by the invitation and acceptance of being in nature and working with plants. I have developed Mindful Gardening, which has helped me mitigate stress, reap nature's health benefits, and learn how to entwine the gentle gift of being present with plants as my focus and inner well-being. By practising mindful gardening, I can care for and nurture the plants and soil outside, weed my own internal garden regularly, and keep a mindful eye on my inner and outer wellness.  Watch my latest video on Forgiving Yourself when You mess Up Watch my video [https://www.instagram.com/p/ClJ-tZ5Dfue/]

Hammersmith Community Gardens Association

London

Hammersmith Community Gardens Association is a local environmental charity set up in 1984. We manage four community gardens in Hammersmith and Fulham. HCGA has a range of projects which include conservation training schemes, volunteer gardening sessions, health and wellbeing projects, environmental playschemes and environmental education in local schools. We assist local groups in the design, plan and management of their green spaces. We promote environmental sustainability within the borough and manage our sites to maximise biodiversity and encourage wildlife. To reflect the expansion of our working to neighbouring boroughs in 2016 the charity adopted the working name of Healthy Community Gardening Activities (HCGA) The gardens are used as an educational resource by local schools, a site for volunteer gardening groups and in the holidays there are environmental play activities. As well as creating space for people the sites have also been designed to encourage wildlife. We run the community food growing area in Normand Park and work with local ‘Friends of’ groups to manage and promote their sites. In Westminster we run weekly gardening sessions in Queens Park Gardens, Westbourne Park and Penfold Street Hub. We support the Fisherton growing project with regular gardening sessions as well as by providing plants. In Westminster and The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea we deliver short Adult Education courses around gardening and herbal activities as well as a programme of walks. HCGA has a team of school gardeners who deliver environmental education sessions in schools on a weekly basis in three boroughs. These include formal curriculum-linked activities as well as lunchtime and after school clubs. We can also guide groups on how to make their premises more environmentally friendly and give technical growing advice. For more information about booking an educational visit for your group or for a member of our team to come to your site please contact us. Through the Grow Well project we work with local people across the Hammersmith and Fulham borough to provide therapeutic gardening sessions for people who need a bit of extra support hopefully leading to participation in our regular volunteering sessions. The Get Out There! project offers local unemployed or socially isolated people the opportunity to learn new skills in basic environmental management such as habitat conservation, tool use and wildlife identification. Participants get the opportunity to visit and work on a range of different habitats across London as well as local sites in Hammersmith and Fulham. We also run a Men in Sheds programme at Godolphin Gardens for socially-isolated men. Our Volunteers maintain our gardens and contribute hundreds of hours of their time each year. Many of them have physical or mental health problems which prevent them from working in paid employment. We also host around 20 companies each year on corporate volunteering work days. As well as completing several physical tasks the companies make a donation to HCGA which covers staff time and materials. This is extremely valuable to us as it then funds the upkeep of the gardens.

I’m Esther Wolff, and I’m a garden coach, qualified in horticulture and garden design. Based in Harrogate, in fabulous North Yorkshire, I’m lucky to have the gorgeous RHS Harlow Carr Gardens on my doorstep. This is where I trained in horticulture and garden design, where I regularly go for inspiration, to soak up the beauty of the gardens in all seasons, and to use the wonderful library – and where I now work part-time as a Horticultural Advisor. My passion for gardening grew out of my love for the natural world. I spent 15 years working on environmental issues around the globe, before deciding to step back and try to make a difference in my local area. I’m a strong believer in gardening organically, and in our responsibility as gardeners to provide a home and source of food to insects, birds and other wild animals. At a time when the natural world is under threat in so many ways, what could be better than watching wildlife thrive in your own small patch? Of course, gardening has many benefits for the gardener too, offering fresh air, exercise and a sanctuary from a busy world. There is such pleasure to be gained from nurturing plants and watching them thrive under our care, as well as from creating beauty where before there was none. My conviction that we would all benefit from gardens in our lives eventually led me to establish my practice as a garden coach. I now share my skills with others, helping them to develop the knowledge and confidence to create and look after their own beautiful outdoor space. If you would like to learn to grow a wonderful garden, why not book a session today and start your gardening journey?
