WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

The addition of a range of indoor plants from The Glasshouse has made such a difference to our office space, with positive comments from across our staff team. The workshop that Kali and her team ran at the office was very popular with people keen to learn about how to look after plants properly. The session was helpful and informative with The Glasshouse team sharing their knowledge in an engaging and interactive way – staff put their learnings into practice as they potted their own plants. The training was kept relaxed, informal and fun - our staff enjoyed getting to know The Glasshouse team. They talked about their own journeys with transparency and honesty and about how The Glasshouse has provided them with the second chance they deserve to get a fresh start. We hope to welcome them back soon.

— Stephen Muers, CEO Big Society Capital”

Finding The Glasshouse project and sending plants to all our employees was the best thing we've done. It's made a big impact with our team's mood and engagement.

— Daggerwing, Omnicom

I am very grateful for my time working in The Glasshouse as it has given me a real sense of achievement and a new found respect and appreciation of all things green. The commitment and dedication it takes to nurture and grow the plants comes with great rewards and has been absolutely instrumental in helping me cope with and overcome challenges with my mental health whilst being in custody.
