THIS CITY IS A GARDEN
Plant Co-operative CIC is a multi award-winning not-for-profit urban gardening collective formed in the spring of 2021.
We specialise in tending often neglected urban city centre spaces, working alongside city developers, the city council and local organisations to transform and manage pockets of wilder space, and create the opportunity to bring the community together through gardening.
We showcase the benefits that can be shared by all by taking a different approach – increasing biodiversity, improving social connection and mental health, and ultimately creating a city of gardeners.
Want to get involved?
Gardens don’t require maintenance, they require gardening.
Our team of skilled gardeners work alongside residents and volunteers to foster hands-on gardening that connects people to nature and creates a unique sense of place.
We seek to involve the community in all aspects of the garden and adapt our planting style and methods to function alongside engagement and community gardening, presenting a vision of what the future of our cities could look like.

How can we help support pollinators in urban spaces?
In towns and cities nature is often a lot closer than you think. Urban spaces can provide surprisingly good opportunities for pollinators so why not have a go at giving them a helping hand?
As part of the RHS Grow With It national programme, we’ve created this short video to help showcase how we can all support urban pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other insects that keep our ecosystems healthy.
You can learn more about the project and how to get involved here.
