Research shows that gardening can be good for our health. We also have more than 40 years of experience seeing it first-hand, every day with the people we support through our Social & Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) programmes.
By sharing our knowledge freely, we want to reach as a wide a number of people as possible. Our Get Gardening information service is designed to help individuals use gardening and nature to improve health and wellbeing.
Through our advice, we:
- Help make gardening easier, fun, and rewarding
- Give practical suggestions so you can continue gardening if you have any health conditions
- Get you started with gardening if you are new to it
- Help you create a personal approach for using gardening to support your wellbeing
- Give you ideas for using gardening to support someone you care for with health conditions
