We help people experiencing mental ill health to activate their own recovery and live a healthier life.
We're professionally led. We promote safe and encouraging environments, supporting people to create their own recovery goals.
Through horticultural activity, we empower people to unearth new confidence, skills and purpose. They can define and track their own progress, and recover on their own terms, in their own community.
We know what we do works. We’ve seen it happen for twenty years, and can evidence its impact.

”Growing Well had faith in my abilities when I didn’t and have allowed me to grow and develop my role throughout my recovery. Their patience is endless but thanks to them, my illness is not.
