Who we are ‘What Not To Grow’ was established in 2003 by Maggie Andrews and Julie Harrison. We are experienced gardeners with skills and knowledge in design and garden management who understand what good therapy a garden can be - whether you're working on it or just sitting in it!
What we do ‘What Not To Grow’ is a Northern Ireland based consultancy that's about:
Promoting the value of green spaces to people and communities, especially where space is contested;
Working with people to create softer, better planned neighbourhoods;
Recognising that the environment in which we live cannot be separated from our health and well being, opportunities for education and play and relationships with people around us;
Finding solutions to deliver real change in disadvantaged communities;
Building active citizenship and community confidence.
If you are part of a community group, young people's project or school, you might be interested in our ideas about environmental and garden projects as a focus for community activity, for regenerating places and for building stronger communities.
