Welcome to Gardening Leave

Gardening Leave was started by Anna Baker Cresswell in 2007 to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of Serving and ex-Service personnel using Horticultural Therapy, in walled gardens and is now developing Horicultural Therapy projects throughout the UK.

Gardening Leave will oversee horticultural therapy projects for Service and ex-Servicemen and women throughout the UK growing fruit and vegetables in walled gardens which will provide a peaceful, unpressurised environment where veterans can participate as much or as little as they choose in the life cycle of the garden.
