Sow the City have worked in various health settings offering
social and therapeutic horticulture activities to benefit
service users’ health and wellbeing.
•
Our gardening workshops encourage people
to get outside and enjoy the natural environment.
•
We work alongside GP surgeries and hospitals to offer
green social prescription opportunities. Watch our video
showcasing the Prescribe a Plant scheme here.
•
Our food growing and gardening programmes have
been used by organisations within the heath sector to
treat people experiencing early stage dementia, mental
illness, obesity, and cardio vascular disease.
•
Our approach is a cost effective way to achieve better
health outcomes for your patients or service users.
•
Our skilled practitioners will tailor sessions to suit
the needs of your groups – e.g. children, refugees
or asylum seekers, older people, and patients
with mental ill health.
•
We have thorough health and safety policies and
procedures in place and can provide a comprehensive
evaluation process to measure the impact of our work.
•
We have extensive professional links with other
agencies such as public health departments,
foundation trusts and NHS England.

Research shows that food
growing and gardening can
significantly improve people’s
health and wellbeing.
Spending time on an
allotment or in a community
garden provides access to
fresh and healthy produce,
social interaction, exercise,
and the therapeutic benefits
of nature.
