Hozelock launches wellbeing hub to promote mental and physical benefits of gardening

 

Hozelock has launched its new Wellbeing Hub —a free dedicated online space designed to highlight the positive impact gardening can have on both mental and physical health.

 

Now live on the Hozelock website, the Wellbeing Hub is a devoted space offering expert advice, practical guides, and inspiration on mindful gardening, relaxation, and creating a personal outdoor sanctuary. It features a variety of content, including step-by-step guides, garden-to-table recipes, and access to external support resources, making it a valuable tool for gardeners of all experience levels.

 

As part of this initiative, Hozelock is also collaborating with Thrive, the UK’s gardening-for-health charity. Thrive has been helping people improve their physical, mental, and social wellbeing through therapeutic gardening for over 40 years. This partnership will see Hozelock supporting Thrive’s work, including promoting their new Cultivating Wellbeing app—a digital tool designed to help people use gardening to enhance their mental and physical health.

 

Additionally, Hozelock will be donating watering systems to Thrive gardens across the UK, ensuring those who benefit from therapeutic gardening have the tools they need to nurture their green spaces.

 

Alina Gordon, Marketing and Communications Executive at Hozelock, said: “We’re thrilled to launch the Wellbeing Hub and partner with Thrive to highlight the positive impact gardening can have on our everyday lives. Gardening isn’t just about maintaining outdoor spaces—it’s about creating a sense of calm, connection, and purpose. By sharing practical resources and supporting Thrive’s incredible work, we hope to encourage more people to discover the joys and benefits of gardening.”

 

Commenting on the partnership, Ben Thomas, CEO at Thrive, said: “Gardening is such a rewarding way to improve health and happiness, showing positive effects on both our mental and physical health - we see this every day in our Thrive gardens.

 

“We’re delighted to collaborate with Hozelock to support their Wellbeing Hub and share some of the therapeutic gardening activities from our new cultivating wellbeing app. We hope that together we can help people to experience the benefits of time spent in nature.”

 

The Wellbeing Hub is now live and can be explored at:
