Horticultural Therapy

Our Veterans ‘Vegetable Allotments’ are located within the Victorian walled garden at Seaton Delaval Hall. Vegetables grown on the plot are either donated to those in need or used by the Veterans to make healthy nutritious meals. In 2022, we initiated an annual project that teaches veterans how to cook vegan and vegetarian meals from produce grown in the allotment. 2024 will saw us further develop this initiative. In 2025 we have continued to try out drought resistant vegetables and planted an asparagus bed on one of the two plots allocatted to us.
