Our story

Where Friends Grow is the social club of No Plant Left Behind. This is how a project about plants became a community of friends in cities across the UK.

Why we do it

A note from our founder

[A few sentences from our founder, in their own words. For example: why they started No Plant Left Behind, the moment they saw that people needed friends as much as green space, and why the socials followed.]

[Name]Founder, No Plant Left Behind

Our mission

To reconnect people with nature, and with each other, through friendly, low-pressure socials in green spaces.

Our vision

A UK where everyone has friends nearby and a green space they love.

What we stand for

Nature for everyone

Green spaces aren’t a luxury. Everything we do gets more people outside.

Friendship first

Every social is built so it’s easy to talk to someone new.

Everyone welcome

Come solo, come as you are. We work to make every event accessible.

Every ticket gives back

Money from our socials funds No Plant Left Behind’s projects in local communities.
