We are looking to create / develop a therapeutic garden area at Blackburn Homeless Unit for residents to use.  We have already developed a small area in the garden area for residents to sit in and grow some vegetables which has been popular and well used.  This area provides an outside area for residents to use and to be outside which is good for their wellbeing / mental health.  We are looking to work with Community Action Blackburn to develop a large area of grass / garden at the rear of Blackburn Homeless Unit to provide an therapeutic space for residents to enjoy.  Plans include …. 

  • A fruit tree orchard
  • A wild flower meadow
  • A landscaped area for residents to sit in enjoy  

Proposed on behalf of: A partnership with WLC & Community Action Blackburn
