The therapeutic community garden is preparing to host a special event in June 2027 to mark three decades of supporting local residents.
A well-known Swindon sanctuary that has supported residents through nature and horticulture for three decades is preparing to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Twigs Community Gardens will host a commemorative event on 2 June 2027 to mark the milestone of 'Helping people and plants to grow'.
The upcoming celebration is set to reflect on the people, partnerships and memories that have helped shape the site into a significant green space within the town. The project, which operates under The Recovery Tree Charity, is widely recognised for its role in providing a therapeutic environment for those navigating mental health challenges.
By engaging with the gardens, visitors are encouraged to participate in horticultural therapy, which organisers say helps individuals regain confidence and self-esteem. A spokesperson for the charity explained the importance of the site, stating that the gardens function as places of healing, where connecting with nature serves as a powerful method for reducing stress and discovering a renewed sense of purpose.
The anniversary event will offer the local community an opportunity to explore the gardens and participate in the celebrations. Further details regarding the programme for the day are expected to be released as the date approaches.
