Get Gardening – Ways to Get Involved in Gardening and Nature for Improved Health and Wellbeing

An inspiring session on gardening and nature’s ability to rehabilitate, restore and recover, focusing on how green spaces can promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being for people of all abilities.

Through the lens of therapeutic horticulture , we look at practical ways to adapt gardens and outdoor space (no matter what size) —whether through raised beds, patio/balcony planting, accessible pathways, or specialised tools—to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can experience the joy and benefits of nature.
