Clients were delighted with the haul, especially the unusual shapes! These carrots were taken straight into the kitchen, and a client made them into a stir fry to share with everyone. Delicious!

Creating a Serenity Space.
Clients of our Detox Support and Recovery Project have been working hard on creating a new Serenity Space in the garden at the project over the past few months.
Many clients have been passionate about creating a quiet area for much needed decompression and have contributed in many different ways: either building and painting flowers beds/boxes, repairing the bench, creating pieces of art for the walls or weeding and planting.
This beautiful space offers a tranquil area to gather their thoughts, do yoga, meditate and decompress during the often emotionally turbulent treatment process. Even the local fox has been enjoying it 😊
