About this event
Our local community groups are a great way of connecting to other people with SCI, their friends and families and they offer regular opportunities to socialise.
Our Kew Gardens Community Group Trip is happening on Wednesday 24 June and we can’t wait to share this day of discovery with you. To register your interest in this special event please get in touch with your host and local support network coordinator Sau [email protected]

This unique day out will take place during the Kew Gardens Community Open Week, when you will have the opportunity to explore the gardens and dive into a series of interactive, drop-in workshops designed to celebrate nature, creativity, and global roots. Exclusive activities will include:
- Grow Wild in Your Neighbourhood: Meet Kew’s Grow Wild team and learn how to transform your local patch by growing wild species from seed.
- Seedling Keychains: Get creative with artist Clare Sams. Use jute, cotton, and wooden beads to craft your own macramé seedling keychain to take home.
- From Small Seeds—Writing for Wellbeing: Take a guided journey through the stories of Kew’s trees and plants, using creative writing exercises to capture your own unique stories.
- Global Roots Interactive Map: Visit the Archives team and use a giant world map to reflect on the plants and places that mean the most to you.
- Queen Charlotte’s Treasures: Discover the unusual plants loved by the Queen, from tiny seeds to the bold “Bird of Paradise” flower named in her honour.
