4 of us met at York Hospital after getting drenched in a thunderstorm on the way!
Luckily the clouds cleared when we started our task. We were given 4 bags of bulbs to plant in the staff wellbeing garden.
This didn't take long so we then helped clear away some leaves in a different garden.
We then went on our way running, walking or cycling in some lovely autumnal sunshine!

Wellbeing gardens redeveloped for staff and patients
Two gardens are to be redeveloped in York as part of the Gardens for Wellbeing Scheme. Groundwork will be starting in the gardens behind the Chapel off Junction 5 and the Staff Outpatients garden, just along from the Cancer Care Unit.• Created with staff, who were invited to include ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ from the national initiative in their applications, to encourage staff to engage with the outdoor space, connect with others and have opportunity to reflect during COVID times. Will be used by staff, visitor and patients to include therapeutic and reflection opportunity. Will give staff opportunities to get involved with volunteering to support maintenance of the gardens
