Horticultural therapy during Covid-19
Gardeners and tutors came back to the Demonstration Garden at Holme Lacy College on Tuesday 6th October. Running sessions again is wonderful news, and much needed for clients who have really missed their gardening during lockdown. Covid control measures are in place, with social distancing, a new hand washing system, dedicated portaloo, and individual sets of tools and protection for gardeners. We are keeping a close watch on Covid developments nationally, and are ready to react if changes are needed.
Meanwhile, our clients in residential and care homes are keeping busy with their ‘At Home” projects. Activity packs have been delivered across the county and clients are working on their entries for the charity’s Autumn Show. The charity is very grateful to the Herefordshire Community Foundation for supporting the “At Home” project. It has been a lifeline to our gardeners during a very difficult time.
