At EC30 in Tenterden, we’re thrilled to announce a blooming new initiative that brings together the expertise of the Ivy Court Surgery, the Ivy Court Surgery Patient Participation Group (PPG), and the Tenterden Horticultural Society. This collaboration has sown the seeds of a vibrant new gardening group, aimed at enhancing well-being, building connections, and adding a touch of green magic to our local community.

A Garden for Everyone

Gardening isn’t just about growing plants—it’s about cultivating health, mindfulness, and a sense of community. This group is designed to be inclusive, welcoming seasoned green thumbs, curious beginners, and everyone in between. Whether you’re passionate about planting, intrigued by composting, or simply enjoy being surrounded by nature, this is the group for you.

The partnership with Ivy Court Surgery reflects the growing recognition of how green activities benefit both physical and mental health. Gardening is a proven stress-buster, an excellent way to stay active, and a source of connection in an increasingly digital world.

  • Social Gatherings: Meet like-minded individuals, share ideas, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with gardening.
  • Community Impact: Participate in projects that bring beauty to our shared spaces, from wildflower planting to edible gardening initiatives.
