Launched by school friends Rosie & Sal, Cultivating Change was created to address mental health & wellbeing challenges born out of personal struggles & experiences. Through first-hand experience of the benefits of nature in relation to mental & physical recovery and the need for restorative activities, the idea for the charity was born!

 

The journey began with a unique partnership between CN Seeds, a pioneering commercial seed company, and a vision to combine surplus seed donations with the promotion of mental, physical, and social wellbeing. Cultivating Change emerged as a way to make a positive impact on individuals and communities through the transformative power of gardening. We became a registered charity in 2022 in response to the growing need for our work and we haven't looked back since! Over the last 2 years, our applications have risen significantly, with over 700% increase in charity applications & 425% increase in school applications!

​

Cultivating Change is now one of the leading UK charities promoting wellbeing through gardening, growing your own & community.

​

Through its innovative model, Cultivating Change enables people to connect with nature, enhance their wellbeing, and strengthen their communities. By providing seeds and fostering a supportive community, this initiative is making a tangible difference for individuals and groups across a wide range of backgrounds.

​

Together, we are cultivating more than gardens—we’re cultivating change.
