Cornbrook Wellbeing Garden
Cornbrook Wellbeing Garden was created in 2019 as a space for patients and Hulme residents to come and relax and feel the benefits of nature. The garden is available to access when the surgery is open so please come down and have a look.
We run weekly gardening sessions every Friday from 1pm to 3pm. These sessions are open to everyone and there will be activities suitable for all abilities. At these sessions we decide what to grow in the garden and share out any produce grown. So if you have any expertise or there is anything that you would like to see in the garden then please come along!

Prescribe a Plant Programme
The prescribe a plant programme is also run by the community garden. This gives patients a small potted plant to take home and look after, along with instructions on how to look after it. If you are interested in this then please talk to your GP or contact Augusta, the community garden manager.
The garden was created with the help of social enterprise Sow the City. Jon Ross, Director of Sow the City said: “There is a lot of evidence that nature-based interventions are good for people’s physical and mental health.” “The project will bring together local people of different backgrounds, and different ages in meaningful activity, where they can learn new skills which can be shared with family members and neighbours.”
