To book your place scroll to the bottom of this page

Drawing on our considerable experience of setting up our own projects and assisting other organisations through our consultancy service, this blended course explores many of the key areas of consideration for developing an STH project in order to share the health benefits of therapeutic gardening directly with people who have been touched by disability.

Although each starting journey will be different, the course will help to support you in your STH project, providing good information so you can work through the development of your project, possibly highlighting areas you have not considered or, if you are more progressed on your journey, confirming that you are heading in the right direction.

STH is a diverse field and some of the learning content will require you to contextualise it to your own particular model of STH.

I have learnt so much and would feel competent in beginning to set up an STH project!

Anyone with an interest in the logistics, legislation and practical concerns associated with setting up a STH project.
