The Willowbrook Wellbeing Garden is an outdoor space designed to support the health and wellbeing of patients, staff, and the local community. It is located behind the Diagnostic Centre at Willowbrook Health Complex in Corby. To find it, walk past the Urgent Care Centre and turn right at the MRI scanner.

The garden offers a space to take a break, enjoy fresh air, and spend time in nature. Whether you would like to relax before or after an appointment, unwind during a lunch break, or simply enjoy a moment of calm, the garden is open and free to use at any time.

The garden includes curved seating areas for quiet reflection, raised beds and planting spaces for community gardening, and features designed to attract local wildlife. It was developed in partnership with Groundwork Northamptonshire, NHS Property Services, and the Lakeside Healthcare team.

Weekly gardening group

Everyone welcome

As part of our ongoing work to support community wellbeing, we run weekly gardening sessions at the Willowbrook Wellbeing Garden. These sessions are open to anyone who would like to get involved in growing fruit, vegetables or flowers, or simply enjoy the outdoors in friendly company.

Sessions take place every Friday from 1pm to 3pm at Willowbrook Health Centre on Cottingham Road. You do not need any gardening experience to take part. Our Social Prescribing Team and the Willowbrook Garden Group will be on hand to support you.

You are welcome to get involved in hands-on gardening or just come along for a chat and to enjoy the space.
