🌻 An update on our proposed Gardening Club! 🌻
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who commented, messaged, or emailed about our recent post exploring a new over-40s gardening group. We’re so grateful for the enthusiastic response!
We want to clarify the exact vision for this specific project so we can make sure we meet everyone's expectations. Our goal is to create a tailored, therapeutic, and supported space specifically for older adults (40+) with learning disabilities, neurodivergence, additional support needs or dementia, along with their families or carers.
Because we want to ensure this group provides the right environment, structure, and pace for our SEND community, it won’t operate like a traditional, high-activity retirement social club or advanced gardening class.
Who this group is for:
🌱 Adults aged 40+ with SEND or neurodivergence.
🌱 Peer members who want to garden alongside, chat with, and share a friendly space with adults of all abilities.
🌱 Individuals who genuinely look forward to a quieter, gentler, and deeply inclusive daytime routine.
Are you retired or semi-retired?
You are very welcome to join us as a member! This group is ideal if you are looking for a slower, gentler pace. It is a wonderful space to work right alongside others and enjoy a supportive community.
If this sounds like the right fit for you or someone you care for, please get in touch by commenting below, messaging us, or emailing [email protected].
