Nature-Based Therapy at Brooke House for Veterans

Nature Based Therapy is an emerging field that focuses on the healing power of nature as a tool to promote health and wellbeing. There is now strong evidence that people with good access to natural environments are more likely to have better mental health and wellbeing. The more actively engaged we are with nature, the better our wellbeing.

Our Nature Based interventions utilise the facilities available at Brooke House. Colebrooke’s Walled Garden provides a therapeutic space for individuals, their families, and groups, to engage with nature and develop horticultural skills through hands on gardening and seasonal field-to-plate workshops covering harvesting, cooking and nutrition.

Other nature-based interventions include catch and release Fly Fishing on the estate’s private lake, Wildlife Observation and Guided Nature Walks. We are continuously developing the nature based therapies we have on offer.

The March Armed Forces & Veterans Hub is a place to visit and meet people with similar backgrounds and stories, a friendly and supportive place to have a good chat with a Tea and Coffee.
