🌱 Research shows gardening isn't just good for your plants—it's good for your brain too! A study found daily gardeners had 36% lower risk of developing dementia. Gardening boosts important brain proteins, improves attention, reduces stress, and may even help you rely less on medications. Time to get your hands dirty for better health!

How gardening can help you live better for longer

Research shows gardening preserves cognitive function, helping you live well for longer. Now, dementia patients are reaping the benefits with "care farm" prescriptions.

Crimsham Farm Documentary Film funded by Sussex Community Foundation

Crimsham Farm is a unique educational environment that promotes hands-on learning opportunities that encourage exploration, experimentation, and creativity. Based just North of Bognor Regis and run by Veterans of the Armed Forces and young adults with learning difficulties, the farm acts as an alternative education provision, providing a space away from school for students who struggle to fit with the models of mainstream education and as a therapeutic centre for students with Special Educational Needs.<br><br> I was commissioned by Sussex Community Foundation to make a short film interviewing some of the team and to document some of the activities. Having been a farmer in a previous life I welcome initiatives like these that offer a place for individuals who find an educational environment overwhelming.
