Bloomin’ Well CIC

Blooming Well (BW) is a community interest company based in Clophill, Bedfordshire, dedicated to providing social and therapeutic horticultural (STH) activities. The project was inspired by my personal journey with mental health challenges. Struggling with my own mental health issues, I discovered the profound therapeutic benefits of gardening. This personal experience motivated me to create Blooming Well, a place where others could also find solace and improvement through horticulture. Our programs encompass general maintenance, sowing, planting, and selling products grown on 1.5 acres of agricultural land, serving adults with learning disabilities, mental health challenges, and those who are neurodivergent (including autism, Asperger’s, and ADHD). Our mission is to enhance the wellbeing of individuals who are isolated, disadvantaged, or vulnerable.

Service Availability:

  • For Learning Disabilities and Autism: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10 AM to 3 PM.
  • For Mental Health Challenges: Saturdays from 2 PM to 4 PM.

Referral Information:
