Nature makes us feel happier and more relaxed...

Our use of the allotment has helped with our project by having time and space. A place to reflect on our mental health and wellbeing by providing us with a space in which to relax, switch our minds off and recuperate. It has enabled us to return to the normal running of day-to-day life as professionals working with the challenges of being in the workplace it has allowed me to return to work energised, and encourages us to study horticulture in the near future by building on the small projects that a beginner can do, for example,window boxes etc.

Come and have a seat and Relax.

For many of us, being out in nature makes us feel happier and more relaxed and various papers have been written about this. We at ABC believe in this natural environment especially at our chosen site Lime tree Farm where the owners Pete and Irene have created such an untouched space.

The research into this relationship between the Great outdoors shows evidence that access to natural space positively impacts human well-being ,some studies suggest contact with nature might benefit people suffering from mental health conditions such as dementia or depression and at ABC we have been trialling this and found this to be true.
  

In the sky or on the ground,our Programme helps all.

However, questions which require further investigation include how biodiversity and human wellbeing are connected – would exposure to more biodiversity give us a greater wellbeing benefit to people in Recovery and also that of the people who are connected to this group of people?

This could be family members, carers and professionals who have the client group in treatment?

What components of biodiversity have the greatest wellbeing benefit?

What are the implications for the conservation sector of the growing emphasis on nature for wellbeing?

At ABC we are working in a privilege space in order to gain the maximum benefits to our wellbeing and the wellbeing of participants of all our Solo Days, Time and Space retreats, and individual workshops.

Please take time to explore our site and it would be great to see you here.

Easy when you know how.

Looking after whats underground too.

Our pictures help you get a feel of this magnificent space. A place to truly heal and take stock of what is truly important in your life through having Time and Space.

Letting go with Love.

A beautiful place.
