East Cork therapeutic garden grows on adults with autism

The therapeutic benefits of a garden environment will soon be enjoyed by adults with autism in east Cork thanks to the growing endeavours of a group of five chiropractors.

The chiropractors, from Optimal Chiropractic in Cork, took on the challenge of growing food at work as part of a campaign organised by GIY — GrowItYourself, a global movement to encourage people to grown their own in the community — and ready-meal makers Cully & Sully.

They were so successful in their efforts that they beat competition from 450 companies that had taken part in the grow-your-own campaign, #GivePeasAChance.
