Do you have an interest in gardening, growing with nature or wilding? If so, then Growing with Nature is your network!
Growing with Nature was set up with support from the Green Minds project, funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Urban Innovative Actions initiative. There are lots of useful resources on the Green Minds Knowledge Hub website for everyone to access.
Join us for a fun and informative networking event at Mount Wise Neighbourhood Centre, where you can connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for nature. Learn from experts in the field and discover new ways to incorporate nature into your daily life. Whether you're an experienced gardener, a seasoned nature enthusiast or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone looking to grow their knowledge and networks. Don't miss out on this opportunity to expand your horizons and connect with gardeners and nature lovers, in a unique and wonderful setting. Get some seasonal pointers on how to manage your gardens, community growing spaces and allotments.
Weather permitting, we will walk down to the River Tamar at Mutton Cove and up to the wildflower area above the swimming pools between 17:30–18:30. This will give us an opportunity to identify wildflowers and edibles. Mount Wise is designed a County Wildlife site because of its limestone grassland and records of six Devon notable plant species, plus a huge variety of wildflowers.

About Green Communities

Green Communities is an exciting project which is connecting people and wildlife in Devonport, Central Park, and in Keyham and the West of the city of Plymouth.
Green Communities is a partnership project between Plymouth City Council, the National Trust, Devon Wildlife Trust, Real Ideas Organisation and Zebra Collective. It is a pilot project funded through a combination of grants and contributions, including support from Heritage Lottery Fund Urban Nature Development Grant and Natural England.
The project builds on the work of the Green Minds project that ran from March 2020 – August 2022.

About Green Minds

Green Minds was an Urban Innovative Actions (UIC) funded project that aimed to better connect people to green and blue spaces within and around the city of Plymouth.
This innovative project was led by Plymouth City Council’s Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Department in collaboration with a range of local stakeholders including the University of Plymouth, Real Ideas Organisation, Arts University Plymouth, Devon Wildlife Trust, The Data Place and the National Trust. The project aimed to improve the quality and condition of green and blue infrastructure. It also aimed to positively enhance people’s interaction and involvement in these spaces, recognising that spending time in green and blue spaces has positive health and wellbeing benefits.
