Grow My Wellbeing

Grow My Wellbeing: houseplants and wellbeing in the United Kingdom

Grow My Wellbeing is a British company dedicated to bringing nature closer to corporate and community spaces through hands-on workshops, plant installations and a shop selling houseplant sets. The firm was founded by Chantal, who after twelve years working in human resources and coaching in the corporate world decided to change careers during the 2020 pandemic to share the benefits that caring for plants brings to mental health.

Workshops for businesses, schools and the community

Its main activity is experiential workshops designed for work teams, schools and plant enthusiasts. Offerings include terrarium-making workshops, corporate team building sessions and community activities. The company also offers private terrarium workshops and plant repotting services. In the education sector, the Grow for Schools programme brings these experiences to schools.

Office plant installations

Grow My Wellbeing carries out office plant installations, with bespoke proposals that include advice on the most suitable species according to the conditions of each space. The company also offers maintenance services for the installations. Its recent clients include companies that have commissioned both terrarium workshops for their teams and the installation of planters in their new offices.

Plant shop and experiences

The online shop sells houseplant sets, plant-related gifts and experiences such as terrarium workshops. The catalogue includes products presented as eco-friendly and plant subscription options, such as the three-month subscription that a customer gave her daughter as a gift. The company has also taken part in local craft fairs.

Media presence and community activity

Chantal appeared on the ITV programme 'Jimmy & Shivi's Farmhouse Breakfast', where she guided the presenters and guest Iwan Thomas through a terrarium-making session. The company organises community activities such as plant bingo nights at venues including The Swan in Lawshall and workshops at The Coffee House in Fornham All Saints. The workshops have also been held in care homes and as activities for hen parties or birthdays.

Customer reviews

The testimonials collected on Google highlight Chantal's expertise, clear explanations and friendly manner. Several customers mention the creation of forty mini terrariums to give as gifts to the staff of a care home, workshops for groups of around thirty-five people in office settings and the installation of plants in offices with detailed proposals. Attendees particularly value the relaxed atmosphere, the varied materials and the plant care advice.
