Green Shoots Project Worker
Ecotherapy on the north-east edge of London
Forest Farm Peace Garden is a unique mental health and environment project. Our garden in Hainault is an oasis of beauty and tranquility offering an inspiring and welcoming space for people to connect with nature and meet other people.
We run an ecotherapy programme, involving activities in nature, to support people with mental health recovery. We also run workshops, events and volunteering for the wider community.
Activities in our garden include gardening and food growing, caring for our large fruit orchard, growing medicinal plants, caring for wildlife, woodwork and arts and crafts.
“My mood lifts when I come to the garden & this calmness spreads to the rest of my life. I find it much easier working through my problems & enjoy being around people again.”
