Horticultural Therapy

The project has been developed partly by organisations for people with learning difficulties or mental health problems.

Gardening work is popular with the users of these groups, giving relaxation, social activity, a sense of purpose and training in useful skills.

Healthy Roots provides a site where groups can work, without having to take on a site of their own. Support and training is available to groups which would like to do horticultural therapy work in the gardens.
