Plant and Share

In spring 2024, communities, schools, families and nurseries got together to sow, grow and share plants.  

Over 18,000 people attended a Plant and Share event and our resources, which focused on four weekly themes, were downloaded over 7,000 times. 

Week One: Growing for All 

Plant and Share is about ensuring that growing your own food is as easy and accessible for everyone, from first time growers to community organisers, whether you're growing in an outdoor space, or windowsill, we've got you covered. 

Week Two: Growing to Eat 

With rising food costs, growing food can be a simple and fun way to enjoy good food. Whether you're growing tomatoes on your windowsill, or strawberries in an old container, there's a host of great resources to help. 

Week Three: Growing for Joy 

Getting out in the garden can do wonders for your wellbeing. Whether it's growing beautiful plants to bring colour and wildlife to your backyard or vegetable patch, getting crafty in the garden, or simply nurturing a plant through its lifecycle, there are an abundance of positives to growing and reconnecting to nature's rhythms. 

Week Four: Growing for Nature 

Bees, bugs and other wildlife are nature's superheroes, helping produce the food we eat.

Planting some nature-friendly plants is a great way to do your bit for these mighty guardians of growing.
