What people have said about the Gardening Choices training days:

"Having not felt very confident about how I could help the residents in the garden. I now feel enthused and I am looking forward to using the knowledge gained today in helping all the residents benefit from gardening."

"The Thrive workshop was fantastic. I found the information they gave really useful in developing sessions that everyone can participate in."
