Why Your Support Matters
You know that gardening can transform lives - it’s probably had a positive impact on your own life, or a loved ones, in some way.
Therapeutic Gardening supports mental and physical health, builds confidence, and fosters community.
Every year, thanks to people like you, we help hundreds of groups and practitioners bring gardening to the people who need it most.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of individuals like you.
By committing to a regular donation or fundraising for us, you help us nurture resilient communities, share vital expertise, and ensure that everyone - regardless of age, ability or circumstance - can access the abundant benefits of gardening.

What the project gave me was a reason to get out of bed again. I found my life again.
This quote comes from Fran, a young woman with 2 children, after attempting to take her life. She found the Space to Grow Project, an onsite hospital garden, which Fran openly admits, saved her. Without projects such as these, and our help to get them off the ground, Fran and many others like her could have a very different story to tell.
