We have been working closely with Dose of Nature - a registered charity established to promote the mental health benefits of engaging with the natural world. They are now based at Dapdune Wharf and are going from strength to strength.
Dose of nature
A Dose of Nature prescription is an eight-week programme that introduces individuals to the mental health benefits of spending time in nature. It aims to inspire lifestyle changes that will have a significant and lasting impact on mental wellbeing. This is achieved through a combination of education, first-hand experience and practical and motivational support, led by a trained Dose of Nature Guide.
In June this year, a collaboration between Dose of Nature and the RHS reached completion. RHS Wisley Level 4 Diploma in Horticultural Practice students transformed the cottage garden to create a welcoming, accessible and therapeutic space.
The beautiful garden is now being used on a regular basis - a project that has succeeded extremely well.
