Centre for Ecotherapy, Stanmer Nurseries, Brighton and Hove (2026)

The Centre for Ecotherapy provides support for vulnerable people in the local community, aiming to improve and maintain well-being through the use of nature-based and horticultural therapies, mindfulness and practical activities. Located in Stanmer Park on the outskirts of Brighton, this not-for-profit social enterprise comprises two large areas of land - an organic allotment garden and an organi

c wilderness area populated with trees, shrubs and plenty of wildlife. The Centre's services include horticultural therapy, 'natural art' therapy, work days for groups, training and volunteering opportunities for therapists, students and practitioners, and opportunities for research into the effectiveness of nature-based therapies. We also offer an outdoor space for the use of therapists wanting to take classes or groups, such as yoga and tai chi, group talking, art or drama, outside into Nature. The Centre is a community space, available to anyone who would benefit from being in a healing natural environment. We offer regular therapeutic activities for groups, individuals and volunteers. If you are a therapist, educator or practitioner looking for a beautiful outdoor space in which to conduct your classes or discussions, please get in touch to see how we may be able to assist you.

A little allotment update! Thanks to a donation, our new shed is up and ready. Much better for the wetter and cooler months ahead.
Big thanks to everyone who helped put it together.

🌱 Looking to volunteer and spend time in nature? Join our Gardening & Allotment team at The Centre for Ecotherapy Stanmer Park, Brighton

If you love being outdoors, getting your hands in the soil, or learning how to grow food, this is a beautiful way to spend time in nature while supporting community wellbeing.

Here’s what one of our volunteers shared:

“Watching the natural world change through the seasons has been wonderful… Everyone brings something different, and I’ve learnt so much. You don’t need to know anything — just be open to learning and being part of a team.”

You don’t need gardening experience — just curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to work alongside others.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
