Gardening and belonging: reflections on how social and therapeutic horticulture may facilitate health, wellbeing and inclusion
Diamant, Emna; Waterhouse, Andrew; The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 73, Number 2, February 2010 , pp. 84-88(5).

How these theories interact in practice was explored at Thrive's STH project in Battersea in London.
