Replenishing gardening group for women
Thyme & Space is an opportunity to build friendships, new skills and confidence through gardening and sharing a vegetarian meal together. These supportive and lightly facilitated sessions offer a place where we can set aside our daily challenges and enjoy a connection with nature through activities like sowing, digging, planting, weeding, harvesting, or just sitting and enjoying the wildlife. No previous experience of gardening is needed. We welcome new women to come and spend time at PLOT 22 and share in the positive experience it has on our wellbeing.
If you’re interested to come along you will need to fill out our volunteer enquiry form. Once we’ve received it Alison or Rita will be in touch.
“No pressure to talk or do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable."
"I really enjoyed the session at PLOT 22. I normally find group things difficult but wanted to stay for longer as it’s so peaceful there."

Session hosts Alison & Rita:
“It’s a very different kind of space”
Alison We are co-hosts for Thyme & Space - therapeutic gardening sessions for women who would benefit from using the space. Our role is to facilitate the sessions and make sure they flow.
Rita They are sessions where women can be together. There’s an openness and also a respecting of privacy too. Nobody has to say anything if they don’t want to.
