Growing for Life has been created out of a passion for bringing people and plants together. At the heart of its wide-ranging activities lies the desire to get back to the roots of gardening - to share knowledge, enthusiasm and most importantly to have fun.

Our dedicated team, headed up by Chris Beardshaw, want to share with you the positive and rewarding aspects a life with plants can bring.

We are particularly keen to show how horticulture can play a formative role in the development and experiences of children and young adults so many of our projects are geared towards providing opportunities and support for schools and organisations.

Here are some of things Growing for Life can offer:

• Development of garden classrooms for schools
• Guided Tours
• Specialist talks and lectures
• Gardeners Question Time opportunities
