We are at the first stages of starting a Growing & Therapy Garden on some vacant land that Vanessa has near Shamley Green. In this first year, we are preparing ground for the planting of a vegetable garden, which will be growing vegetables and fruit for our shop in Cranleigh - all locally sourced and grown without harmful chemicals and pesticides. We are also going to be developing this area for those with therapeutic needs.
Research has shown that spending time in nature, especially when one is gardening and growing, can benefically impact on a person's health and wellbeing. Growing Health research released in 2019 not only showed this impact on health, it evidentially confirmed that the physical activity of gardening and growing can improve mental wellbeing.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are looking for volunteers with an interest in gardening and growing to assist us at our new site in Shamley Green. Initially we will be preparing the ground, though we will shortly be sowing seeds of tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, peppers, beans, spinach, salads and also planting rhubarb crowns.
If you have some time spare and would like to join us, please do email grow@forearthssake.co.uk or call Paul on 07966 014911 and leave a message.
