When Jude Sellen Cole approached Bensham Grove with the concept of creating an Urban Physic Garden for wellbeing, we were delighted to offer her a small corner of our grounds to bring her idea to life.

Jude and her volunteers (along with some help from Bensham Grove volunteers) worked hard over the next 15 weeks to clear the land and make it ready for the planting that would soon begin.

Jude has also been working in collaboration with other projects, most recently with WovenLives to create willow panels as part of an outdoor Art Installation.

Each Wednesday at llam, until the end of March, visitors may come along for a few hours to create small willow rectangles as part of the Installation.

No experience is needed as volunteers will be on hand to help and give demonstrations.

Those who wish to draw or write poetry are equally welcome as part of this creative project.
