Soil to Supper Online Programs are designed for gardeners of all levels and suitable for any location worldwide.
The Seasonal Programs provide access to resources and information to assist with the delivery of therapeutic gardening activities to benefit people of all ages and abilities.
The latest program is designed for delivery throughout Summer as a Therapeutic Gardening Program.
Therapeutic Horticulture is a process of using plants and gardening activities to promote health and well-being of people’s mind, body and spirit.
Gardening has been used for many years to cultivate health and wellbeing in people with disabilities, illnesses, diseases, the young, the elderly and people recovering from surgery and other health issues.
This program includes an organic and sustainable approach to gardening and is customised for the needs of people of all ages and abilities.
Through this program you will access resources and information to assist with the delivery of gardening activities within your organisation. Ongoing support is provided through the Soil to Supper Online Facebook Group. Access link to this group will be included in registration confirmation.
The seasonal programs include;
- 12 Gardening Activities suitable for completion through each season

- Access to the private Facebook Group to ask questions, share successes from your program and connect with others who are providing therapeutic gardening programs
- Ongoing support from Cath Manuel to assist with the successful delivery of a gardening program through the season
From this program you will gain the knowledge, skills and a deeper understanding to confidently delivery therapeutic gardening activities throughout Summer.
