In Celebration: The Glasshouse
Meet The Glasshouse, a social enterprise making a profound impact by providing opportunities for women prisoners at the end of their sentences. Their mission is close to our hearts, and we are honoured to support them as they make their debut at the Chelsea Flower Show this year.
The Glasshouse are a social enterprise based in Kent dedicated to offering horticultural training, employment, and support to women upon their release from prison. This innovative initiative not only equips these women with valuable skills but also fosters a sense of purpose and community, aiding their reintegration into society.
Many prisons have disused glasshouses due to cuts in land-based training and services. The Glasshouse's mission is to expand to every female prison by 2030, bringing life to unused resources and offering second chances to more ex-offenders across the UK. All profits generated through The Glasshouse are reinvested to expand and grow our programmes in prisons and for ex-offenders post release.
The Chelsea Flower Show showcases the best in horticulture. This year, The Glasshouse made a significant impact with their stunning display in their own glasshouse, a space filled with lush, vibrant greenery. Their exhibit was not just a visual treat but a testament to their commitment to growth and renewal.

At Sowvital, we believe in supporting initiatives that bring positive change to communities. The Glasshouse’s dedication to transforming lives through horticulture resonates deeply with our values. We were incredibly proud, and honoured to be given the opportunity to sponsor their Gold-winning houseplant studio. A collaboration underscoring the transformative power of horticulture, the proven physical and emotional benefits that being close to nature provides.
