This therapeutic work can be stand-alone or else form part of a broader care team approach.
Specialised Support
My Garden Space offers specialised in-home and community support through a structured program that uses gardening activities to engage individuals. Our approach facilitates community, civic, and social engagement, promoting overall wellbeing.
Our services are designed to support individuals of all abilities, offering tailored programs for children, the aged and those with disabilities - many of whom access the service via their NDIS plan. These unique and therapeutic activities for participants can form of respite for carers, ensuring everyone involved can experience the benefits of nature and community connection.
Community Projects
My Garden Space offers consultations and programs for schools, aged-care homes, and various community groups, including hobby and interest groups. We work with a wide range of people to bring the benefits of gardening to different parts of the community.
Our facilitator will talk to important people involved in the project to get their ideas and help plan and start the program. Once the project is up and running, we will also guide and support the community in taking care of the garden, ensuring it continues to thrive.
