‘Through therapeutic horticulture, working with local communities to create safe, encouraging and empowering environments for children and adults to learn and improve their well-being.’
The Haygrove Community Gardens Charity was established to offer support to those who would benefit from therapeutic horticulture, to engage school children in the growing of healthy fruit and vegetables, and to provide accessible green space for education and enjoyment. We develop community gardens providing outdoor learning, horticultural skills and an awareness of how food is produced, improving self-confidence, supporting social interaction and teaching new skills.
Our parent company, Haygrove, is fortunate to have bases in many beautiful parts of the world, and believes that it is important to support the communities that share these special places. Community gardens also facilitate the integration of other local businesses into the community. By forming partnerships with local businesses, we can not only help ensure the gardens’ ongoing success, but also provide a means by which their staff can benefit from using the garden, whilst helping its other visitors.
We are looking to scale up our efforts. We are actively seeking business partners who can help us establish more community garden projects.


LEARN ABOUT OUR
COMMUNITY GARDENS
The Haygrove Community Gardens Charity was established in 2017, four years after the creation of our first garden in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire.
We develop our own community gardens and support others, aiming to give young people an awareness of how food is produced and opportunities for fun outdoor learning, to improve the mental health and physical wellbeing of disadvantaged and disabled people by improving self-confidence, social interaction and teaching new skills, and to ensure a legacy of green spaces.
We also aim to provide a route for local and national businesses to invest in services to schools and disadvantaged people through horticulture and nature. We are gathering a group of businesses to take this forward to create more community gardens.
