Interesting . It looks lovely but what is a therapeutic garden ?is it therapy for both the gardeners and visitors. Do you grow lots of herbs as well?. My rosemary on the balcony has flowers out already.

I work as therapist on 2 Acer site working with mental health and head injuries and learning difficulties we use the garden because being around plants and nature is good for your well being we were on gardeners world about 3 years ago I've been doing this for about 20 years

Think this has kept me going bringing in nature and helping other

Yes I agree I used to love my agarden - a mere strip in between houses and a a strip on top of railway cutting for vegetables . Poor return for effort . Now I have a Sununu balcony and a not facing front door so all in pots now. You appear to have a very large greenhouse. Now that is very useful.. My dad had a grapevine in his and tomatoes 'gardeners delight ' . You do a good thing helping people to enjoy nature. It helps everyone.

I've just looked at the. Web site . That is marvellous . Do so much . Was interested to see you mention Sutton Park birdwatchers but that is miles away over on the other side of city . I lived in Great Barr until 1960 and spent a lot of time in my childhood cycling all around in Sutton Park. Cost a penny to get in then !
