Growing together - using the shared act of tending plants, soil and green spaces as a healing practice for individuals and communities.
There is something profoundly settling about putting your hands in soil, watching things grow, and doing it alongside others. Community gardening has increasingly strong evidence as a wellbeing intervention - improving mood, reducing isolation, building physical activity, and offering a sense of agency and meaning.
Creuynni engages with community gardening as part of our broader commitment to community-based wellbeing. This may take the form of participation in shared growing spaces, therapeutic horticulture sessions, or supporting community growing projects as part of a wider wellbeing programme.
If you are an organisation or community group looking to incorporate growing as part of a wellbeing initiative, do get in touch - this is one of the areas where we can help with both practical and pastoral support.
