Gardening for Health and Wellbeing – Thrive

As part of the Growing Colour Together project the WOVEN team have put together a series of talks, events and workshops to help you get started with your colour garden.

This online session by Thrive will explore the way gardens and gardening can be accessed and used for health and wellbeing, including the evidence behind this. Across the presentation we will think about how in everyday life, through our communities and through health and social care interventions, gardens can be supportive of societal health and each life journey.

We will include practical ideas so that everyone can be more connected to nature through gardens for their own health benefit. The session will include how horticultural therapy links with the use of natural dye plants and some of the aims of our Growing Colour Together project.

About Thrive
Thrive is a charity that supports people with ill health and disability to use gardening for health and wellbeing. We have 3 gardens in Birmingham, London and Reading that support people directly in programmes of social and therapeutic horticulture. Additionally, we have an information service that seeks to inspire and provide the knowledge so everyone can benefit from gardens and gardening alongside a training and education programme supporting other organisations and practitioners to develop the skills for practice. Each year we see first hand the transformational value that garden can have for people’s health and wellbeing.
