RHS Community Wellbeing Grant

The RHS Community Wellbeing Grant aims to support organisations to deliver community gardening projects and improve the wellbeing of participants through increased access to gardening

Gardening has been proven to positively impact our mental and physical wellbeing, providing access to the outdoors, time away from our busy lives and an opportunity to connect with others. We know how important green community spaces are and that’s why in February 2022 we were pleased to launch our new RHS Community Wellbeing Grant. Supporting groups and organisations working at the heart of communities, the new funding will help deliver gardening projects with the aim of improving the wellbeing of participants.

​From running skills workshops to increasing access to a garden, we were looking for creative ideas that put your organisation’s participants and wellbeing at the centre of a gardening project. The RHS Community Wellbeing Grant, once awarded, will provide between £5,000 and £10,000 to successful applicants.

This RHS grant fund has been match funded with generous support from The Newt in Somerset.
