Spring to Life is passionate about helping people become the best that they can be. This includes helping people to build strong relationships with their families, their friends and their wider communities, to improve resilience. Our community projects aim to help people make connections with other people in their local environment and find a sense of purpose. Many of our projects help people to enjoy being outdoors in nature, and to become involved in planting and growing food to benefit themselves and their community.

Therefore any group or individual can sign up as a Mother garden regardless of the level of expertise or time available. Plants are then shared to groups and individuals in their local areas or with other Mother gardens across t ...
