Breathing Spaces Garden Therapy, Design & Farm Flowers
Revitalising people and places through garden therapy and design
How can we help you?
Nature and gardening have a special power to calm and kindly refresh body, mind and emotions. And the more help someone needs, the more nature gives. But sometimes people need a little support to access that power. That's why we started Breathing Spaces Garden Therapy and Design, and why we are building its future sustainability through our small urban flower farm. So, can we help you, your family, your clients? Or can you help us?
We want to get all sorts of people gardening together, but especially people who are struggling, because gardening

Is it hard for you to keep finding stimulating activities for a loved one with dementia?
Do they struggle with large groups and dislike organised activities for people with dementia? Do they enjoy the outdoors, gardening or being helpful? Why not try our year-round Community Garden Clubs? They are one hour or three hours, so there is time for you to have a break whilst they do something stimulating, purposeful and sociable, independently of you. |

Is it difficult for you to garden because of physical or mental health challenges or lack of confidence?
Could a small gardening group be a way for you to meet people in a relaxed way by doing an enjoyable and purposeful activity? Do you want to feel good and be part of a community? Our Community Garden Clubs might be for you. Or you might like to help us with our Community Flower Farm & Heritage Veg project. Or see our occasional Short Courses on gardening for self-care. |

Is the garden of your Care Home or Day Centre attractive and accessible with
multi-sensory planting? Do you worry that a well-designed therapeutic garden is unaffordable? Are you under pressure to show that you are doing everything to improve the quality of life of your clients? We design and create gardens where people are welcomed by nature into a living sanctuary. Our gardens are always accessible, coherent and multi-sensory, with different areas for being active or seated, sociable or quiet. And we find the Care Home Garden Clubs we run give residents the opportunity to express their identity, belong to a group and feel pleasure. |
