Gardening for Health and Wellbeing – Thrive

Join us online for a Growing Colour Together talk from gardening charity Thrive.

This online session by Thrive will explore the way in which 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.

Growing Colour Together is more than a project, it’s a MOVEMENT! And our ambition is to create a district-wide, natural-dye, colour garden! We want to give everyone the opportunity to ‘have a grow,’ use what’s grown to make natural dyes, and learn about the environmental implications of chemical dyes and what we buy. It’s an evolving project and we want people to join in with the areas that interest you to grow, make, create and debate, so this event is part of a series of talks, events and workshops to help you get started with your colour garden.
