Are you part of a community, youth or voluntary group? Has your group got a project idea to connect local people with nature? Do you know an urban space that would be ideal for a transformation?
If the answer is yes, apply to join the Grow Wild Community Programme and bring your group’s ideas to life!
The Grow Wild Community Programme supports groups and organisations to transform urban spaces for the benefit of people and wildlife by planting and championing UK native plants or fungi.
Grow Wild is seeking 20 fantastic community groups from across the UK to join the programme in 2025.
Your group will receive:
- A £2000 grant to transform an urban space with UK native plants or fungi, encourage wildlife and involve your local community.
- Invitations to online knowledge sharing sessions and talks featuring special guests from Kew and beyond. These sessions are designed to support your project delivery and provide opportunities to connect with other groups taking part in the programme.
- The opportunity to apply for a £500 follow-on grant for spring 2026, to help support your ongoing activities.
The programme is more than just financial support – we’re seeking groups who are keen to join our online sessions and connect with other groups taking part.
New to UK native species? Or never grown before? No problem! We welcome groups of all experience levels and love receiving applications from those who are getting into growing for the first time.

Applications close 3pm, Thursday 13 February 2025.
