Our plant contributions to local schools, charities and other community organisations, to create green community spaces with enhanced biodiversity.
What is Greenwood Community?
We’ve made excellent progress this year towards our goal of twenty-four community projects as part of our Greenwood Community scheme. Our scheme involves donating plants to local charities, schools, village gardens and other community organisations, to help with their landscaping and gardening projects.
Why our donations matter
Sustainability is one of our core values at Greenwood Plants; we have a responsibility for the health, prosperity and sustainability of our local communities. Plants and trees provide a wealth of environmental benefits, including improved biodiversity, increased oxygen levels and enhanced air quality, as well as areas to practice gardening, that has positive effects on mental health and wellbeing.
Proud to be supporting our local communities
Helping our local communities is a priority for us, and we are always proud to contribute to these green schemes. We listen to the needs and requests of local schools, charities and community organisations—supporting their projects as best we can with our plant donations. We enjoy watching these planting schemes come to life and the benefits they bring the students, teachers and wider community.
