Join us for the Big Green Day Out

If you’re looking for something really rather lovely to do on Saturday 16th October why not take part in the Big Green Day Out.

Explore Sussex and discover all the wonderful green wellbeing projects that are doing such great work on a number of trails across Sussex. Tour the sites, meet the project leaders and experience the benefits of being outside in some beautiful locations.

For more information on the trails available including maps and info about each project see the Facebook event Big Green Day Out

We hope to see you there

Do you like your medicine wild?

Then join us for a Wild Medicine Workshop with herbalist Jessie Martelhof on Sunday 22nd August at Saddlescombe Farm.

Jessie will be leading us on a gentle ramble around the hedgerows to learn about the medicinal properties of some of our native late summer plants such as Elderberries, Hawthorn berries and Nettle seeds. You will learn how you can safely identify and harvest these plants sustainably and you will get to make your own herbal remedy to take home.

Jessie is a qualified Medical Herbalist with a passion for native wild plant medicines that are available to everyone for free! She has a degree in Herbal medicine, she co-runs the Brighton Apothecary and offers health consultations in Fiveways. Website: www.gentle-medicine.co.uk

Booking is essential. Tickets cost £35 full price and £25 concessions and are available by clicking here

All profits go to supporting our charitable work.

Celebrate Solstice with Grow

We’re so delighted to announce that as things slowly come back to life, we’ll be restarting our popular monthly Natural Wellbeing days from June. And to kick things off in celebratory style we’ll be gathering together at Saddlescombe Farm for Summer Solstice - the time of year when we count our blessings, celebrate our achievements and each other - seems very apt for this year!

If you’d like to know more or to book then click here Natural Wellbeing — Growing wellbeing and see details of this and other events planned for this year.

Can’t wait to see you back out on the hills

Grow is springing to life!

Reconnecting with Grow this spring

Hello everyone, we hope you are enjoying the beauty of springtime and the chance to reconnect with nature and friends as the lockdown begins to ease. As it is now possible to meet in small groups together, Grow is starting to run in-person Reconnect sessions again. If you are interested then check out the information on those pages and get in touch. We’d love for you to join us.

Grow is on YouTube!

We’re also very happy to announce that Grow now has a YouTube channel! And to celebrate its launch, you can enjoy watching the “Hope Springs” video that some of you very kindly contributed images, videos and poems to. The video is a mini journey from wintertime to spring to capture the changing of the seasons. And what better time to release it than this moment as we experience a bit more freedom to spend time with others.

Please feel free to share the video with your friends and family :-)

Wishing you all a gentle and enriching time this spring.
