Course information

Blue and yellow Pansy flower This course runs at The Liskerrett Centre on Wednesdays from 10.00-4.00.

On this course you will develop your gardening skills whilst working as part of the team to maintain and enhance community centre grounds. As well as planting herbs, plants and shrubs you will also learn how to take cuttings, propagate, and maintain and develop the established gardens at one of our off-site locations.

The Liskerrett Centre has a polytunnel, containers and areas suitable for growing a variety of produce and fruit trees. You will also help support the community store within the centre.

You will be encouraged to focus on areas of interest to you with tutor support.

The Road to Wellbeing courses are relaxed and informal, enabling you to improve your wellbeing and mental health, building your self-confidence and self-esteem. Attending our classes is a great way of meeting new people, making friends and developing personal and vocational skills.

Our courses are for anyone aged 19+ who is experiencing or recovering from mental ill-health.

This can be mild, moderate or long term.
