What we do

Sixty years of helping people grow

Greenfield began in 1962 as a handful of garden clubs pooling what they knew. We are a national body now, but the idea has not changed: gardeners learn fastest from other gardeners. Members get the practical help, the people, and the events to grow with confidence — whatever they grow, wherever they are.

  • Over 1,200 step-by-step growing guides, written by our horticulturists
  • The Greenfield Journal, delivered four times a year
  • Workshops, courses, and the annual Spring Plant Fair
  • 118 local groups running garden visits, talks, and plant swaps
  • The Greenfield Diploma and our members’ Seed Exchange
