Vary your activities

The best practice that we can recommend is to have a constant variation of types of activities available to participants. This ensures that there will always be a task that someone can do regardless of their needs and abilities and the varying circumstances arising during the day.

What makes it a good practice or tool?

It simplifies the work of being able to support each individual well, especially providing time to give emotional, behavioural support. Empathy is key and so good on the spot organization gives space to meet peoples needs.

It can help to diffuse difficult situations, for example; if you have 2 people who do not get on well with each other they can each have a different task, or changing tasks quickly may promote group cohesion.

It provides variety and the participants have the opportunity to learn lots of different aspects of gardening.
