Growing Sudley CIC / Sudley Walled Garden

Add to Shortlist

Mainly outdoor activities in a walled garden in south Liverpool.

We are a not for profit community organisation based in the walled garden at Sudley Estate. We’re developing the garden into a resource for community health and wellbeing through nature and the healing power of plants. We run targeted activities for people with disabilities and long term health conditions, forest school holiday clubs for children, and community and activities.

The garden will be open every Wednesday subject to weather conditions. Our regular volunteering sessions will be taking place at the same time.

Family Forest Bathing Walk 12 April 2024
£0.00
10:30-12:30pm
Forest bathing is based on the Japanese practice of ‘shinrin-yoku’. It is all about immersing your senses in nature, and absorbing the sights, sounds and smells of nature. No swimming involved.
Family sessions are designed to be gentle and fun and we’d say they are suitable for children aged 6+. The suggested age requirement is because the session is designed to be slow and peaceful and there are times when you are quiet and still.

To book go to the website.

For more information on forest bathing and what to expect, please visit the Journeys in Nature website.
