New Leaf is Devon Partnership NHS Trust’s Vocational Rehabilitation Service supporting adults recovering from mental health issues into work or volunteering.

New Leaf is part of Devon Partnership NHS Trust’s Vocational Rehabilitation Service. Our service has been developed from delivering many years of therapy, training and supported employment to adults living with a mental health condition who are working towards paid employment now or in the future.

Loving the new seasonal display created by one of our talented service users today! What an amazing use of willow, grasses, plants and other materials from this site, also incorporating woven willow pieces by our treasured volunteer Val.

Our wonderful new multispan is now complete thanks to Open Up!
Lots more work to do to prepare the ground for the flooring, trench the polythene and lay the flooring and irrigation but we will get there!
This space will enhance the environment for people to work in and for growing and will increase overall capacity so a wonderful addition to our site!

The New Leaf Team spent a productive morning last week discussing ways to improve our service. This was followed by a shared lunch with some of our volunteers and a lovely walk in the sunshine around Bicton Park Botanical Gardens in the afternoon, rounded off with tea and cake.
Many thanks to Bicton Park for enabling our visit.

Did you know that New Leaf supply the plants for the wonderful bedding displays in the park?

As September comes to an end, we’re reflecting on what has been a joyous summer of flowers at New Leaf!

We’ve so much gratitude for our volunteers who have sown, planted, watered, tended, cut and conditioned the blooms, and for all who have taken care of the cutting garden over the season.

The garden has become a valued therapeutic space to enjoy different kinds of horticultural tasks in a beautiful, peaceful and uplifting environment close to nature.

And it’s been wonderful to share the love of our cut flowers with service users, DPT NHS staff, volunteers, and our local community. Special thanks also must go to Exminster Post Office for selling our very first posies this summer.

We are already plotting what we will sow, grow and offer next year in our expanding patch.

Watch this space for next year! 🌷 💐
