"Thank you live team!"

About: Highbury Hospital

(as a service user),

MY first experience is coming to Highbury Community Garden and sitting in a relaxed and beautiful place, making a mosaic with a group of fantastic people - including the staff and Anna the artist. The Live team have organised this, and built this lovely garden. This activity is really relaxing and the surroundings. Its an extremely good form of mind therapy as people tend to speak more openly outside than when they are on the wards. Its good for the staff too to be outside and outside communication is completely different from communication on the Wards. We would love to do more of this and need a continuation of this project. We need to find a way of carrying on. We could sell what we make to keep the session going and make more funds.

Thank you live team!

Dear ospreypf95,

Many thanks for your very supportive comments. The Live team are very proud of the community garden and continue to be keen for it to be accessed more by service users, staff and the Highbury Hospital community.

We very much agree about the positive environment and its therapeutic impact on both service users and staff and we make this space accessible for various uses.

It is great that you enjoyed the recent mosaic art project and we hope to continue Arts in the garden as well as continue to secure funding for bigger projects.

We have recently held a Summer Fayre and did have a plant sale with produce from the garden but agree it is a good idea that we could also sell arts and crafts that are created within the garden,

Best Wishes

Jenny
