The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Wales on Tuesday to inaugurate a series of therapy gardens and allotments focused on mental health. The initiative, which is supported by the Royal Foundation, aims to assist communities throughout South Wales and will commence with the construction of the first garden at the Brynawel Rehabilitation Centre in the vicinity of Pontyclun.
There will be allotments, a communal sensory and herb garden, a mud kitchen, and an interactive learning space in the garden. Life at No.27, a provider of horticultural therapy and mental health counselling, will oversee it. Annabelle Padwick, the founder of the organisation, stated that the gardens provide a safe environment for those with mental health issues.
“Our unique therapy allotments and gardens are essential because they provide a safe environment for those with mental illness to process and explore traumatic experiences with trained therapists while learning new skills “she said.
Eventually, GP referrals will grant access to the garden to residents from the greater community. Amanda Berry, chief executive officer of The Royal Foundation, stated that the couple is committed to making a lasting impact in the communities they visit, playing a pivotal role in bringing together local stakeholders to amplify the work of organisations and ensure support reaches those who require it most.
The initiative is part of a series of endeavours intended to leave a “lasting impact” on the communities the couple visits. Spending time in nature is known to have a variety of benefits, including a reduction in depression and anxiety, which makes this project all the more vital in providing much-needed mental health support to the residents of South Wales.
