Gardens & Health

Our Gardens and Health Programme raises awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of gardens and gardening for everyone, and of the importance of healthy gardens to wider biodiversity.
Celebrated in May each year (3-11 May in 2025) with a dedicated Gardens and Health Week we work to promote gardens and health throughout the year, linking service users from our beneficiaries with free garden visits and funding garden and health projects.

Gardens and Health Week 2025

We’re thrilled to be celebrating Gardens and Health Week and to announce the publication of the 5th edition of our Little Yellow Book of Gardens and Health. This year our theme is ‘green medicine’ and through the various chapters the wonderfully varied and uplifting articles  explore the different ways that gardens really can offer a viable and effective alternative to standard clinical responses to people’s health and wellbeing. We hope you enjoy this wonderful dose of green medicine.
