Root and Branch

At Root and Branch they believe in the power of the outdoors and nature in the process of healing, their garden – located on an organic farm in the beautiful Vale of the White Horse – is at the heart of what they do. They also believe that learning new skills as part of a supportive community enables recovery, and recognise that everyone has their own path to follow. They offer a wide range of interesting activities such as gardening, blacksmithing, woodworking, crafts, artwork, pottery, ceramics, and cookery. This helps people to regain their self-esteem, and to lead a fuller life including returning to work or education. They show compassion, are non-judgemental and inclusive, and are committed to creating a safe and secure place where people are respected, trusted and supported.

Bridewell Gardens

Bridewell Gardens is a mental health recovery service which offers social and therapeutic horticulture to adults living in Oxfordshire. They are a recovery service and as such their aim is to work with people with enduring mental ill-health, helping them move forwards until they are able to lead more active lives in the wider local community, and to help them into jobs or voluntary roles.

Theirs is a working environment, where the emphasis is on getting out into the open air, taking on new challenges, and becoming part of the team. For people who are often quite isolated, this is an important part of their recovery. They use gardening as a familiar hands-on activity to help individuals transform aspects of their lives. It’s goal-led and the focus is on overcoming barriers to recovery. Based in the Cotswolds they work their walled garden and vineyard using organic practices.
