UK: Space to grow: realising the potential of the community gardening movement
A report by the Royal Horticultural Society October 2025

Excerpt:
The numbers speak volumes. Over 2.5 million adults have taken part in community gardening in the past three years, and 14.7 million more say they’d love to get involved. Volunteer numbers are rising, and the energy is palpable. But alongside this momentum, there are real challenges. Many groups are worried about their future – facing hurdles like limited funding, insecure access to land, and the need for more support and skills.
That’s why this report matters. Space to Grow doesn’t just celebrate what’s already happening – it lays out clear, practical recommendations to help community gardening thrive. From better funding and infrastructure to stronger networks and advocacy, the report shows what’s needed to unlock the full potential of this movement.
Whether it’s a youth club growing flowers for a care home, or neighbours turning a lawn into a kitchen garden, these shared green spaces are helping us tackle some of the biggest issues of our time – loneliness, climate change, biodiversity loss. And they’re doing it with joy, creativity, and community spirit.
The RHS is proud to stand alongside the thousands of volunteers, organisers, and growers who make this movement what it is. We’re committed to helping it grow – and we invite you to join us. Imagine every unloved corner blooming with sunflowers for pollinators, herbs for commuters and tomatoes for our children.
