Good relations
Good Relations has been at the heart of all our programmes and activities. We try to help to strengthen and improve relations using horticulture as a tool.
From our earliest days, fostering Good Relations has been at the heart of all our programmes and activities.
Much of our work with local and regional authorities has been in the community relations space. We try to help to strengthen and improve relations using horticulture as a tool.
Building an element of Good Relations into our innovative programmes has seen positive feedback and more importantly positive relationship building across communities. We have a suite of Good Relations Programmes ready to be delivered with partners, that can improve relationships and promote inclusion within and across our communities.

Good Relations Programmes
Community Gardens
Our team of horticulturists can work with your communities to help them to create and/or manage their community gardens.
Men’s Sheds
We support a network of 90 Men’s Sheds throughout Northern Ireland, community spaces for men to connect, converse and create.
Beacons
Beacons provide a safe, environmentally clean alternative to traditional bonfires. Each beacon is designed to be reusable. The two-part steel structure is 5 metres tall and is pre-filled with carbon-neutral willow wood.
Schools Shed
We have worked with schools to provide a safe outdoor place within school grounds which is comfortable and surrounded by nature.
Home
The Home programme explores cultural diversity to promote good relations and reconciliation through creativity.
Pop-up & Grow
Our ‘Pop-up and Grow’ events provide the perfect opportunity for groups to meet together and give gardening a try.
