The Growing Circles are for those who wish to make a deeper investment in transforming lives through gardening. As a valued member of our growing circles, you’ll play a vital role in sustaining and growing the impact of therapeutic gardening — supporting innovative projects, specialist training, and crucial outreach across Scotland. In return, you’ll be invited to connect more closely with our work through exclusive updates, special events, and opportunities to see the difference your support makes first hand.
Whether you’re a Cultivator, Botanist, or Master Gardener, your generosity helps shape a healthier, more connected future for all.
The Difference You Make
By joining a Growing Circle, your generosity becomes a super power to change lives. Larger gifts go beyond sustaining core work — they turn ideas into action, acting as a catalyst to expand into new areas, launch pioneering projects, provide advanced training for practitioners, and reach more people than ever before. Your support supercharges our capacity to respond swiftly to opportunities, scale up what works, and invest in the future of therapeutic gardening in Scotland. Your commitment helps the therapeutic gardening field grow stronger, reach further, and change more lives.

Master Gardeners
£10,000+ per annum
Master Gardeners help create transformation at scale. Your investment means entire communities can rediscover wellbeing and connection through garden spaces.

Botanists
£5,000+ per annum
When you support this work as a Botanist, you unlock the potential for deeper change. You make it possible to open healing gardens in care settings and growing spaces in schools, to accompany survivors of trauma with nature-based therapy, and to offer specialist training for practitioners who carry that change forward. You give the freedom to dream bigger and plant what might once have seemed beyond reach.

What the project gave me was a reason to get out of bed again. I found my life again.
This quote comes from Fran, a young mother of 2 children, after attempting to take her life. She found the Space to Grow Project, an onsite hospital garden which Fran says saved her. Without projects such as these, and Trellis' help to get them off the ground, Fran and many others like her could have a very different story to tell.
