Get Ready to Grow
New Support Programme LAUNCH 7th Nov 2019
You may be thinking about honey, a forest school, a community orchard or how you can involve more people in your area.
Get Ready to Grow is a new programme for groups working to improve, protect and re-connect with their environment. We have a specific way of working based on collaboration, discovery and fun and walk together through your own growth. Our programme is a mixture of inspirational mentoring and practical help.
We value what you think and share what we know.
