What is Cultivating Change?
Cultivating Change is a UK charity engaging communities through gardening & growing to support mental health.
At Cultivating Change, we believe that growing and gardening can transform lives. From boosting mental health to building stronger communities, the simple act of nurturing a seed can create profound change - and that’s where our journey begins.
Our long-term vision is for horticultural activities that benefit people’s mental health to be embedded in educational, healthcare, & community policies.
Through our 2 key programmes, ‘Cultivating Change in the Community’ & ‘Cultivate & Educate’ we provide seed donations, growing workshops, community days, assemblies, resources, virtual & in-person support to educate, empower & engage people in gardening activities promoting life-long habits to foster wellbeing.
Our community of growers are known as 'Cultivators for Change'. The community is diverse, bringing together novice and experienced gardeners, schools, charities, hospitals, community projects, and more. With hundreds of active participants, this growing network fosters encouragement, learning, and connection.
