With a wealth of knowledge about gardening for health and well-being in diverse settings, Thrive is the UK's leading body in the field of Social and Therapeutic Horticulture (STH).
We can assist organisations and groups working in any area of health,
care or education - from design advice on creating accessible gardens
to improving the value of therapeutic services and demonstrating their
impact to others. Here's feedback from one client:
"Hallmark Care Homes value the relationship built up with Thrive over the last three years... We utilise Thrive's expertise throughout the year to ensure our care teams have the skills needed to enable our residents to make the most of the homes' outdoor spaces"
Our areas of consultancy generally cover:
- Developing Gardens – We can support organisations and groups to create quality gardens and outdoor space.
