Open Garden and exhibit at Cambridge Access Surgery

This September, Cambridge Access Surgery (CAS, an NHS GP Surgery for people experiencing homelessness) invites you to explore our Open Garden and Art Gallery as part of the Open Cambridge festival.

Our garden and woodworking program offers a sanctuary where those experiencing homelessness can connect with nature and develop new skills, enhancing their wellbeing and fostering a sense of community.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to wander through our co-created garden, carefully tended by participants of our program. The garden exemplifies the festival's theme of rooted connections and networks, illustrating how nature can ground us, nurture our growth, and interlink our lives in meaningful ways.

The art gallery will showcase a diverse array of works created by local artists and members of the CAS community, with a focus on nature and wellbeing. Each piece reflects the therapeutic and inspiring aspects of the natural world, emphasizing the importance of rootedness and interconnectedness for personal and communal health.

Your visit will not only offer an enriching experience but also reinforce the vital networks of support that CAS strives to build within the community.

Join us in celebrating the profound impact of nature and art on our lives, and discover how the themes of rooted connections and networks weave through our collective efforts to create a more inclusive and supportive society.
