Breathe and Bloom
Our Breathe and Bloom programmes are 8 weeks long and aimed at connecting women with nature through enjoyable activities in the great outdoors. Set on our beautiful allotment, participants take part in weekly 2 hour sessions involving enjoyable and relaxing activities such as woodwork, natural crafts, gentle gardening, and bushcraft skills. The programme and activities are designed to improve mental wellbeing and the site provides a calm and nurturing setting.
Prior to each programme starting there will be 2 taster sessions which will be more informal drop-in sessions so participants can meet the staff and find out what it is all about before committing to the programme.
The Breathe and Bloom programmes are funded by Live Well Kent and Medway and participants must be referred via the Live Well Kent service – please see the referral link below. For more information please email cmp@khwp.org.uk or call 07545 743416.
Next programme starts April/May 2026 – we advise referring yourself to LWK by early April to ensure you don’t miss out.

Feedback from previous participants:
“The Womens Wellbeing allotment has got me into a really good place where I am able to give myself permission to slow down a bit in life, and give myself permission to enjoy things and enjoy feeling safe and comfortable around others and has honestly been a hugely appreciated milestone in finally getting out there and being able to start living life. I would not have been able to do all this other stuff without the confidence womens wellbeing has given me.”
“Really enjoyed the mix of crafts and outdoorsy work, a good balance. Have really appreciated the chance to get out more. Has done wonders for my mental health, sense if will to live, enjoyment of being around others as others are so lovely / welcoming here and have loved everything about the course.”
“Green Wellbeing actively improved my wellbeing and it came at such an important time of year – the transition from winter to spring is difficult and being out in nature watching it blossom was fantastic.”
“Green wellbeing has introduced me to new ways of connecting my wellbeing with nature. I usually link it with gardening and more active season-dependent activities. However, the tasks we did at Green wellbeing were varied and imaginative and showed a new way of using nature and plants to build calming and supportive activities for everyone.”
“I loved the space – very rustic and not too restricted like in your garden for example. Really fluid space with a tranquil and stabilising atmosphere. Wonderful team running the sessions too!”
