Welcome to Cultivate NSW!

We are the peak body for Horticultural Therapy in NSW, bringing together everyone who is interested in health and wellness through gardens and natural environments.

We encourage positive change in people's lives through the use of Social and Therapeutic Horticulture and can show you how to gain the skills for a rewarding career in this emerging field.

We have a wonderful community of members and friends from all backgrounds and with diverse interests.

Come along to a Cultivate Event or Workshop to learn more. We have a new Events Page where you will find our events in pink and other like-minded community events that we support in green.

There has been no better time to join us as a member - for more information check out our Member Information Page.

We are now well into August and looking forward to our AGM on Saturday 24th August.

We have combined the AGM with what promises to be a wonderful presentation by Katrine Mardini from Outhouse Design, one of our much valued members and sponsor, about their work at the Sydney Children's Hospital at Randwick.

It will also be a great opportunity to meet Cultivate members and friends and to hear about our achievements over the past year.

We ran another successful Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture workshop on the 1st August – a great day with another wonderful group of Therapeutic Horticulture enthusiasts! Click here for a recap of the day.

We have had some lovely feedback on our website – thank you! If you haven’t checked it out, we urge you to have a look. It’s now easier than ever to join us as a member – and members now enjoy a member’s only area that will help to continue to build the strength of our community.

The upcoming Therapeutic Landscapes Conference in Perth has a wide range of pre-conference workshops on offer. Take a look at the program here - there are many to choose from!

Stay Warm,

The Cultivate Team
