Social and therapeutic horticulture and palliative care


SPACE 2 GROW  has been delivering regular sessions of social and therapeutic horticulture to both Sobell House Hospice in Oxford and Katharine House Hospice in Adderbury. Both hospices offer specialist palliative care for those with life limiting illnesses where SPACE 2 GROW  has increased the breadth of creative therapies available. Therapeutic horticulture provides opportunities to sow, grow and nurture for the future reminding us of the cycles of life and reconnecting us with nature. Enhancing the interaction between outside and inside and making improvements to outdoor spaces has been key to this process.
