🌳 A great day at Blackburns Farm with our LCC volunteers! 🌿

We started with a walk around the grounds before getting stuck into a hugely successful day of planting and some much-needed maintenance, replacing trees that hadn’t survived and giving the grounds a little TLC.

With planting season now upon us, the recent rain has finally softened the ground enough to get those spades in! There’s still plenty of planting and maintenance to do, so we’ll be holding several more volunteer days over the coming months. 💚

A special thank you to John for the lovely locally grown saplings, and to everyone who gave their time and energy today. So much achieved and such lovely company! xx

A wonderful NHS management away day at Blackburns Farm 🌿

A mindful walk, nature-based activity and stretch session with Rachel from Thrive at the Farm | Wrea Green followed by team meetings in our education building.

A great example of green social prescribing in action: getting outdoors, moving and connecting. 💚

Plenty of tomatoes to harvest and the flowers are still putting on a good show - much appreciated by the bees and other pollinators. Thanks to our regular group from Wesham rehabilitation unit for their help in picking crops for the Foodbank.

Last Thursday we had a wonderful wellness taster session at Blackburns Farm with NHS and council staff.

We began with a wellness walk through our woodlands, wetlands and species-survival areas, taking time to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful surroundings.

Debbie then led a relaxing lavender activity in the polytunnel using lavender grown and dried here at the farm, before Rachael from Thrive finished the morning with a calming stretch class. We rounded everything off with a delicious lunch from Dizzy Ducks.

Green social prescribing brings people together, encourages gentle movement and helps improve physical and mental wellbeing through time spent in nature.

We just arent very good at taking pictures so here is one of the rainbow over the farm later that day. Thankfully we missed the rain.
