The Nurture Project
Using Nature To Nurture Good Health
The Nurture Project is a social enterprise that operates a therapeutic year round garden project, supporting adults living with mild to moderate mental health issues. It aims to provide an impartial and safe space for adults to improve their mental and physical wellbeing in a friendly but structured environment. No gardening experience is required, and participation is offered on both a one-to-one and small group basis. The small, community orientated organisation is based in tranquil gardens in Kettlestone, near Fakenham, and is staffed by experienced horticultural therapists.
How We Can Help
The Nurture Project currently provides a variety of services from individual one to one therapy to a number of group sessions. These include:
One to One
For individual clients there are a variety of options all of which are based around horticultural therapy. Most commonly these are private sessions set in the walled garden at Kettlestone, but they can also take place in the greenhouse or workshop if the weather is poor. Alternatively there is also the opportunity for Walk & Talk therapy usually taking advantage of the Kettlestone Woodland Walk.
Group
We run our It's Not Just A Walk In The Park programme for small groups. These client facing sessions are always based around horticultural therapies but usually take place in The Nurture Project's woodland setting. Group sessions are limited to a maximum of 6 clients and are led by a horticultural therapist and supported by one of the project's volunteers.
Outreach
The Nurture Project organises and administers outreach programmes for local partners. We are currently engaged by Wells Community Hospital Trust to provide support in their gardens in Wells-next-the-sea. Other outreach programmes are also under discussion.
Consultancy
As more and more people recognise the benefits of horticultural therapy The Nurture Project staff are available to help similar projects establish themselves with a particular focus on the East of England.
