🌷🌼🍂 Our Autism Group at the Discovery Garden in King’s Lynn has been busy getting creative in the garden, enjoying the fresh air and making the most of our time together! 🌷🌼🍂

Since the group began in July, we have cleared garden beds and planted a shady border, created a beautiful flower garden, sown seeds, made some lovely garden art using shells, planted up pots with winter bedding, carried out general garden maintenance and planted up bulbs ready for the spring.

There’s still lots to look forward to, with plans to build a bug hotel and bring even more colour to the garden over the winter months through arts, crafts and nature-inspired projects.

Our group offers a welcoming, peaceful and inclusive space for autistic adults, and adults who suspect they may be autistic, to come along, relax, enjoy the outdoors, get creative and be themselves without judgement.
Whether you enjoy gardening, arts and crafts, nature or simply having a chat in a friendly environment, there’s something for everyone. And of course, there’s always a cup of tea and biscuits waiting!

📅Every Tuesday, 10am-2pm.

If you’d like to find out more about our King’s Lynn group or come along and join us, please get in touch. We’d love to welcome you!

Contact support worker Melissa for more information.

Our Norfolk and Waveney Autism/ADHD Support Service are running another Plan Bee on a Saturday in November. This will be a condensed version of our full Plan Bee, made more accessible for parents who work full-time and aren't able to commit to the 3-week course. We are also planning an evening session in the very near future!

Please see details on the flyer below, to book on to this course or to find out more about the upcoming evening session, please email [email protected]

A picture from an OT-led session of our Puffins course, for parents/carers of a child with a diagnosis of autism. We brought in lots of resources and equipment for parents to explore, and explained how these types of activities can be beneficial for our neurodivergent children.

Do you children use any of these things? Do they have a particular favourite?
