Who is Cultivating Wellbeing suitable for?

  • Anyone age 18+ who would like to improve their health and wellbeing through time in gardens and nature
  • The app works on both iOS and Android operating systems

  • This app is suitable for any level of gardening experience, from novices to skilled gardeners
  • There are plenty of activities that need little to no equipment, so you don’t need an extensive gardening toolkit!

At Thrive, we know first-hand how gardening and time in nature can bring a range of benefits. We have over 40 years’ experience of an approach called social and therapeutic horticulture (STH).

We are delighted to be able to expand our support with Cultivating Wellbeing app, a new digital service developed in partnership with Big Lemon.

By helping you create and take ownership of your own plan, we hope the app will help to embed healthier behaviours and in turn improve your health and wellbeing.

We ran an extensive pilot of the app from July – December 2024. We commissioned the University of Essex to independently evaluate the impacts of Cultivating Wellbeing. Click here to read the initial evaluation report.

We are also proud to have passed the framework assessment set by the Organisation for Review of Care and Health Apps (ORCHA).
