Growing Communities
We're not just growing trees
We're growing thriving, resilient communities
We are the only UK charity working at a national scale to improve lives by planting trees in cities
We get stuck in with local communities to cultivate lasting change in their neighbourhoods – whether it’s revitalising forgotten spaces, creating healthier environments or getting people excited about growing, foraging, and eating healthy food.
