Hannah Norman - Social Horticulture Consulting
Horticulture support for social, community and small scale commercial ventures
Project Management
Do you require programme delivery or management of a horticulture based project? Or delivery of a one off horticulture or nature based session? Both practical and administrative project support is available.
Social and Therapeutic Horticulture
The benefits of growing, gardening and spending time in nature has been proven to positively impact our physical and mental wellbeing. Whether it’s green social prescribing or working with a specific demographic, as a trained Social and Horticulture Therapy Practitioner, projects or sessions can be tailored to meet the needs and requirements of individuals and groups.
Building and Managing Green Spaces
Market gardens, community gardens, sensory spaces, biodiversity zones. Each horticulture space is unique and has it’s own considerations when it comes to design and management. So whether it’s a one-off chat, a full design and build, or growing and gardening services, there is support available for every size project and green idea.
In addition to practical horticulture delivery, I support place-based community development to enhance social resilience and capacity building. This takes on a number of forms, including strategy development, creating case studies and evidencing impact, bid writing and fundraising. I’m also an Action Learning facilitator and a Social and Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioner. Although useful in the context of horticulture and green spaces, these methods and models can be applied in various social settings to support a wide range of community and not-for-profit groups.
