Bloom Sheffield is a community flower garden for women and non-binary people in Heeley.
They promote positive mental health and wellbeing through therapeutic horticulture. Bloom runs therapeutic gardening groups as a way of meeting new people, trying new things and feeling good – both mentally and physically. There is tea and biscuits, friendly faces, chat and much to learn about flowers; supported by a facilitator and a specialised volunteer.
Bloom Sheffield run regular gardening sessions for all women and non-binary people to attend. If you fancy popping along every so often, for a bit of planting, tea drinking and lovely company, these days are for you.
They do lots of different activities at these sessions, some of these include; digging, weeding, and sowing seeds. No previous gardening experience is needed- just come along and have a go! You can join Bloom Sheffield at any of their community gardens and they also run quiet sessions if you’d prefer smaller groups.
If you’re a little nervous about going and would like to get to know a few people before attending their regular groups then they run “Welcome to Bloom” sessions. These sessions run at various times in the year and are in 4 week blocks. You get to try out some garden activities in a small group, meet the staff and get to know the gardens.
Some sessions are free and others have a cost. You can view more information on their website. And book a place on their booking platform.
They also have volunteering opportunities and a flower shop on Chesterfield Road, Woodseats. For more information or advice on how you can get involved email: [email protected]
