Therapeutic Horticulture…gardening for health & wellbeing
At Soil to Supper we support people from all walks of life to enjoy a connection with nature, experience a sense of joy and gain the health benefits from gardening and fresh food.
Therapeutic Horticulture is a process of using plants and garden-based activities to promote physical health and emotional wellbeing for people of all ages and abilities.
“I am blessed to share my passion for gardening, my skills and knowledge in Horticulture and Therapeutic Horticulture to provide support to individuals and organisations to create wellness throughout the community.”
