The Farm

Nestled among native gum trees and peaceful waterholes, The Farm at SCSS is a place of tranquillity, connection, and emotional well-being. It’s a special place where participants can unwind, explore or just relax amongst the gum trees to the sound of the birds.

Simply being in the outdoors, with geese and ducks wandering freely can lower cortisol levels, helping to ease stress and create a sense of calm.

The hidden benefits of being around and interacting with animals are abundant.

Engaging with animals lowers heart rate and blood pressure, promoting emotional stability and resilience.

Watching animals go about their day encourages present-moment awareness, reducing racing thoughts and improving focus.

We look forward to seeing you at The Farm.

While enjoying the benefits of the outdoors at the Farm, become involved in our Community Garden. The garden offers another level of connection and learning about health and wellbeing.

Our Community Garden offers a place where participants can get their hands dirty, learn new skills and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of nature. They can plant seedlings and learn about the four seasons and what grows best in each season. Being involved in the Community Garden promotes a sense of health and wellbeing, from tending to the veggies in the fresh air, to harvesting and enjoying the results of their efforts.

Being surrounded by nature and the farm promotes a sense of relaxation and de-stress. The physical benefits of light exercise gardening also contribute to improved physical and mental wellbeing.

Everyone is welcome to be a part of our Community Garden. Come plant, grow, and enjoy the beauty of nature with us!
