Nature & Animal Connection

Grow, Nurture & Connect

Therapeutic Outdoor Experiences

It can be incredibly healing to spend time in nature, which is why we have built our gardens and animal spaces, giving our clients a place to feel grounded, relaxed, and connected. Our programs include gentle, purposeful activities built to support emotional well-being, foster responsibility, and encourage meaningful connections with the world.

We aspire to nurture a sense of peace and accomplishment, whether you’re planting a seed or feeding a goat.

Building patience and purpose

Gardening Activities

Through our gardening programs, we invite participants to connect with nature through hands-on activities in our vegetable and flower gardens. This involves planting seeds, watering plants, weeding, and harvesting fresh produce or flowers. Each task is guided by experienced support workers and personalised to each client’s unique abilities to encourage routines, focus and pride in caring for others.

Participants will benefit from:

  • Sensory-rich experiences in calming environments
  • Improvement in fine motor skills and coordination
  • Learning gardening skills
  • A deepened appreciation for nature

Fostering empathy and calm

Feeding & Caring for Animals

This program allows clients supervised time with friendly farm animals. In a calm and nurturing setting, participants will be able to help feed, brush, and care for animals. We believe this program helps promote empathy, emotional regulation, and connection – especially for those who may find comfort in non-verbal companionship.

Key benefits include:

  • One-on-one and group experiences
  • Opportunities to foster responsibility and routines
  • Boost individual confidence and communication skills
  • Finding a peaceful space to unwind
