With 16 million people in the UK living with a disability and 1 in 4 of us experiencing mental ill health every year, the need for our work has never been greater. Thrive promotes the benefits that gardening, horticulture and spending time in nature can bring. We are experts in the field of STH, where trained practitioners work with plants and people to improve an individual’s physical and mental well-being, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, and increasing a sense of occupation.

Thrive brings health and horticulture together allowing everyone to access STH to benefit their own wellbeing. We deliver therapeutic gardening programmes designed to support individuals with specific needs. We provide gardening for health information across the UK - making gardening inclusive to all and ensuring anyone can benefit from gardening and horticulture We are also growing the next generation of trained practitioners through our courses, increasing access to STH projects.
