BURTON COMMUNAL GARDEN OVER 50s PROGRAM

At the garden we are building planter boxes and setting up new garden beds for winter and spring. We also have a variety of mixed craft and information sessions on offer. Drop in Tuesday to Thursday between 9am and 12 noon to see for yourself.

Our tool shed fit out is complete, making it a great place for woodwork and a chat.

Our butterfly project is attracting lots of upcoming activities, making signs and propagating butterfly attracting plants to workshops on attracting butterflies.

If you miss pottering in the garden or in the shed, are up for trying new things and making new friends, drop in Tuesday to Thursday 9am to 12 noon, grab a copy of the program at the Seniors Centres or visit www.salisbury.sa.gov.au/gardening

Men’s Health Week 2023 runs from June 12 to 18. It’s an opportunity to highlight the importance of men’s health and promote services and supports. This year’s theme is “Healthy Habits.”

We encourage men to consider how they can improve their health and wellbeing. Here are some tips:

Think about your mental health

Men can have a habit of keeping negative thoughts and experiences to themselves. To break this habit, try asking yourself a few questions:

• What does positive mental health and wellbeing mean to me?

• What causes stress in my life? What can I do to reduce stress?

• Is there someone in my life I can talk to when I am feeling stressed or depressed?

• What habits can I change to improve my mental health and wellbeing?

Think about your physical health

Our physical health can have a significant impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Think about your physical health habits and how they influence your overall wellbeing. For example, do you get 30 minutes of exercise per day? How are your habits around smoking and alcohol intake? Can you take small steps to introduce healthier meal options?
