Horticulture and gardening activity is used as a therapy in the UK
for growing numbers of vulnerable people, including those with
mental health problems, learning difficulties and other health and
social problems. However, until now little published work has
focused on how horticulture and gardening can help to promote
social inclusion for these vulnerable groups. This guide looks at
the ways in which social and therapeutic horticulture (STH)
projects can help foster independence, build self esteem and
confidence and provide training and employment opportunities for
people with health or social problems. This guide will be useful
for anyone thinking about setting up STH services for vulnerable
groups or for those already providing STH support but who want to
understand further the nature and extent of provision currently
available in the UK. The Growing Together project is a partnership
between Loughborough University and Thrive and has been funded by
the Big Lottery Fund. This guide complements a research study,
Health, well-being and social inclusion: Therapeutic horticulture
in the UK, which is also available from The Policy Press.
