The Purpose and Ethos of the PGS Wellness Garden
Provide an inclusive environment where individuals can:
• Learn gardening skills
• Share gardening knowledge
• Enthuse the next generation of gardeners
• Carry out practical activities in the outdoors
• Meet and socialise, or just spend time alone
Wellness Gardens are gardens where gardeners can pass on their skills and knowledge. Demonstrate how to do carry out tasks, such as propagating from cuttings. Meet and socialise with those for whom gardening is new, encourage youngsters to grow crops and educate them in strategies to avoid ‘food miles’. Provide a herb garden for use by anyone from the area and a sensory garden for quiet contemplation or a chat with friends. Beds are also available for individuals or groups to use and practice their skills. Once the garden is established, we intend holding demonstrations of how to cook what's been grown
