At The Garden offers not only gardening but also jigsaw puzzles, as well as monthly art or handicraft sessions, and tea and cake!
Gardening is a great way to relax, feel good, and connect with others. Spending time together can really help ease feelings of isolation—plus, getting your hands dirty is surprisingly therapeutic!
Art is a great way to switch off, de-stress, and just feel good, and handicrafts such as knitting and crocheting are great for relaxing, de-stressing, and keeping your hands (and mind) busy.
We’re a welcoming bunch (no experience of anything needed!) who enjoy looking after the garden, having a chat, doing puzzles, the odd bit of art inspired by the garden, and sharing handicraft skills (we can also teach you, if you want), and a good chat over refreshments. The best part? We just do what we can, when we can. There’s no pressure to come every week – drop by whenever it works for you.
Just bring comfortable outdoor clothes (and gardening gloves if you want to garden); we’ve got gardening tools to share. And if you have any handicraft projects you are working on, bring those as well!
On site parking is limited, so if possible, please come by public transport or share a ride.
In the winter months, we move to the Geneva Centre for Friday Afternoon Fun. Come and join us for jigsaw puzzles, word searches, board and card games and more, as well as the monthly sessions of art and creativity or handicrafts. And of course, plenty of refreshments and good conversation.

Family Times
Family Times is a gentle invitation to slow down, connect, and enjoy meaningful moments in our shared garden in Versoix or at our Geneva Centre. Share laughter over a board game, decorate cupcakes, curl up in the reading corner, or bring favourite games and stories from home. A space for lightness and joy, where healing happens in a smile, a calm moment, or a deep breath of fresh air. All families are welcome, and we look forward to sharing this special time with you.
