A lot has been written about the benefits of gardening but what happens for people who have disabilities, ill health or who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or isolated?

Well, there’s an amazing charity called Thrive.   They use gardening to bring about positive changes through social and therapeutic horticulture.

They help people work with plants to improve their physical and psychological health, as well as communication and thinking skills.

Gardens are very restful places to be in terms of the peace and quiet they offer people seeking recovery.                                                            

Thrive is always looking for volunteers to help.
