Trellis and Thrive have committed to working together to create the Professional Body for Social & Therapeutic Horticulture (STH). Practitioners across the sector have been calling for a professional body dedicated to STH and felt that it should be led by Trellis and Thrive as the experts in this field.
The UK Association for STH will be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. It will hold a publicly available register of Practitioners who have demonstrated that they meet agreed standards and who have committed to continued professional development.
Thrive and Trellis are working in collaboration with the STH practitioner community to create the standards, guides, and support processes that the new Association will need; there are over 200 people in the consultative forum.
Aim: To inspire and champion excellence in Social & Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) and to grow the STH profession for the benefit of the public’s health and wellbeing

Both Thrive and Trellis have a long history of providing services to support both STH Practitioners and provider organisations.
