THE Recovery Tree has secured a new five-year contract with the council for nature-based wellbeing service TWIGS,. TWIGS, based in Cheney Manor, has been running therapeutic gardening sessions since 1999, giving people the chance to regain confidence, self-esteem and to learn new skills through gardening. It is a well-loved service, having helped many hundreds of people over the years. The gardens have 70 people aged 18 and over working there through the course of the week. They are assisted and supported by 50 volunteers, many of whom were also once referred to TWIGS with their own mental health issues. The gardens are also highly valued as a community resource and contain a variety of plants, trees, shrubs and bulbs.
