Plants For People

Plants for People is a community initiative where you will be given the opportunity to learn and share new gardening skills. It’s run by Mayfield Nurseries in partnership with Solent Mind (Mayfield Nurseries) and Southampton City Council for residents of Millbrook, Weston and Holyrood Estates.

The group is for anyone experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD or phobias. You must be registered with a GP surgery in Southampton, but you can refer yourself to any of the services.

You don’t need any equipment or experience and all sessions are on a free, drop in basis. The gardening workshops are open to all ages and abilities from absolute beginners to keen gardeners.

Learn new skills, meet other members of the community, help to enhance the outside space, get some fresh air!
