Episode 20 - How the Charity Thrive is using Gardening to Change Lives & What is Social and Therapeutic Horticulture?

Today I am chatting with Amanda Wallace who is head of PR and Media at Thrive. A charity that uses gardening to bring about positive changes in the lives of people living with disabilities or ill health, or who are isolated, disadvantaged or vulnerable. I met Amanda at the Garden Press Event earlier in the year and was really keen to find out more about this amazing charity and what it is they do. Particularly in relation to the work they do with Social and Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) a terminology I personally hadn't heard of before and wanted to dive into the subject deeper. I hope you enjoy today's conversation. If you would like to find out more about Thrive and any of the courses and resources that they offer, all of their details are in the show notes below.
