Greenfingers Poem by Katria
I like the gardening, When the weather is fine, When the grass is green, When the tree is greenish, When the crops are ready to eat.
Support – Arts – Gardening- Education
SAGE provides therapeutic arts and horticulture programmes for people whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
SAGE helps boost the mood of our members by providing a welcoming community. We like to find out what our members are fond of doing, and give them support and encouragement to do this through a wide range of therapeutic activities.
At our allotment we have raised beds for those with mobility issues. We also provide healthy meals onsite, made with the fruits and vegetables grown at the allotment.
Our members receive an enjoyable way to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. We offer education, a sense of community and a safe space that they can look forward to coming to each week.
It’s been so good to get out together. I really value these trips. It helps build friendships.
It’s been a really happy day. Thanks so much – I really needed it!
It’s just brilliant having chance to get a away from it all in nature.
I like the gardening, When the weather is fine, When the grass is green, When the tree is greenish, When the crops are ready to eat.
I like when the weather is mild, I like when people are chatting and chatting again and again, I like when people are moving and moving on.
SAGE has recently finished a 9 month Arts Council funded project with local ceramicist and art therapist Emilie Taylor.
SAGE view their art work in the Winter Gardens – huge thanks to Alex & Carys at Ignite Imaginations for organising such a fantastic project!
