The root of happiness?
Sow the City delivered a variety of workshops
from growing and cooking aubergines, to building a
wormery and creating natural art.
Participants and their families reported
improvements in wellbeing from attending sessions.
The project harnessed the therapeutic benefits
of the natural environment as well as showing people
how to grow their own healthy free food, strengthening
community bonds, and providing useful life skills. There
have been improvements to café and hospital sites
with staff commenting on benefiting staff working
environments.
The project was commissioned for both a second and
third year (2018-19 and 2019-20) by Heywood. Rochdale
and
Middleton CCG delivered in partnership
with Pennine Care NHS Trust and Link 4 Life.
