Little Muddy Boots are passionate about getting outdoors and families enjoying the wonders of the outside world. They’ve launched a new type of class at Rivermede Court Care Home in Egham. This is an hour long class gardening and nature class aimed at bringing different generations together.
Each family or child who joins the classes are paired with a resident, the aim of this to to build friendship and connection. The classes, like a normal Little Muddy Boots class are full of gardening, and nature-inspired arts and craft activities. This is about sharing the joy of the outdoors together.
We all know how good the outdoors is for our mental and physical health and research has also shown that intergenerational classes help both older and younger generations. These sessions help the older generation to boost their social connections and reduce isolation. For the younger generation it helps with listening skills, education, motivation, and self-esteem.
