Therapeutic gardening and art sessions for care settings
Pop Gardens can provide group or individual sessions in care homes, hospices and supported living settings. These sessions support Nice Guidelines for improving the health and wellbeing of residents living in health settings.
Our sessions combine the therapeutic benefits of gardening and art with the guidance of health professionals, resulting in a unique and valuable experience for participants.
Engaging in these activities has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It provides a sense of purpose and accomplishment, as well as a connection to nature.
One of the key benefits of therapeutic group sessions is the opportunity to connect with others.
Group sessions allow participants to share their experiences, learn from each other, and build a sense of community. This social interaction can help combat feelings of isolation and loneliness, which are common in today's fast-paced and digitally-focused world.
Therapeutic gardening sessions also provide a unique learning experience. This knowledge empowers participants to continue gardening on their own, fostering a sense of self-sufficiency and lifelong learning.
Being active is another important aspect of therapeutic gardening sessions. These sessions offer a gentle and enjoyable way to stay active, making them suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
Practicing mindfulness is a key component of therapeutic gardening sessions. Participants are encouraged to be fully present in the moment, focusing on the sensory experiences of gardening - the smell of the soil, the feel of the plants, the sound of birds chirping. This mindfulness practice helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation, allowing participants to experience a sense of calm and inner peace.
Our sessions combine the therapeutic benefits of gardening and art with the guidance of health professionals, resulting in a holistic and enriching experience.
