Welcome to Just Let Your Soul Grow

Our mission is to provide a space where the community can come together, fostering a hands-on, peaceful, and safe environment that revolves around the beauty of gardening. We strive to educate community members about the joys of gardening while equipping them with simple yet effective tools to combat climate change through sustainable living practices.

 

By learning together, strengthening bonds, and recognising the countless benefits of connecting with the natural world, we are dedicated to nurturing inclusive community growth. Our core values are rooted in the power of teaching and learning alongside each other, driven by innovative methods that inspire community members to engage actively in our inclusive outdoor garden setting. Join us in our mission to make a positive impact on both individuals and the environment!

Into The Wild

Scientific research shows that spending time in natural environments positively impacts our well-being. It reduces stress, improves mood, enhances cognitive function, and boosts well-being.  We provide a range of activities and events to harness the transformative power of the natural environment. Our initiatives are designed to cultivate a deep appreciation for the environment, encouraging sustainable actions that positively impact both individuals and the planet.​ 

Plot to Plate

Nature provides an exceptional setting for learning, exploration, and connection. Our approach to outdoor education is underpinned by Youth and Community Development principles and values.

 

We believe that everyone deserves a healthy and vibrant environment, regardless of background, and access to growing your own food. Our inclusive space connects people with nature, promoting empathy and respect for all living things underpinned by our ‘no-dig’ ethos.

Community Participation

Our success can be attributed to our founder’s determination, skilled specialist staff, and dedicated volunteers. At our core, we believe community participation and empowerment catalyse positive transformation.

 

Distinguishing us from others, we prioritise the needs and aspirations of our participants, avoiding a top-down approach. This participant-driven ethos fosters a strong sense of ownership among our members and inspires everyone visiting us.

We work with local authorities, schools, businesses, and community groups to create sustainability initiatives, community projects, and biodiverse outdoor spaces.

 

We provide consultation and guidance on developing eco-friendly practices such as green spaces, composting, recycling and carbon-neutral practices.

 

Our garden space is flexible and can be rented to host various events and activities, such as educational workshops, art and exercise classes, wellness events, and team-building days.
