Our regular volunteer gardening session has had to change format during the pandemic, now being a bookable session with limited numbers. We’ve turned this into more of a working party, so if you’re interested in helping us do the works and maintenance required
to take the garden into the next more active phase of development, please get in touch at
growingsudley@gmail.com
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 events and activities.
What we do
- Therapeutic Gardening

Autumn Herbal workshops
With our Resident Medical Herbalist Sue Sprung from Herbs for Healing.
- Fri 16 Oct 2020 1.30-3pm Wonderful Weeds for Adults (there is another slot for children available)
Email growingsudley@gmail.com as soon as possible to book your free place
Herbal medicine is the practice of using plants and whole plant extracts to support healthy functioning of the body to aid and restore good health. As a holistic therapy, it is about treating ‘the person’, not ‘the illness’ and as such offers individual
support, typically through the use of several plant extracts, to address the particular aspects of body function that are out of balance.
In these sessions we’ll look at the many uses of common herbs and plants we find around us in parks and gardens. So many plants are often overlooked or considered weeds yet have the ability to help improve our health and wellbeing. We will embrace the humble
weed and look at the healing properties of many everyday plants that are easy to identify and cost nothing to pick.
All workshops will be safely managed and run in an outdoor space where social distancing and good hygiene will be observed. All materials and equipment will be provided and will not be shared. We are limiting spaces so although workshops are free, you must
register to confirm your place.
