GrowAllot for Business: A Nature-First Approach to Culture, Wellbeing & Sustainability

As climate goals grow more urgent, employee engagement becomes harder to sustain, and urban life distances us further from the natural world, organisations are increasingly looking for solutions that do more than tick boxes, they want change that feels real.


Enter GrowAllot for Business, a hands-on, nature-first programme co-designed by Colectivo and Feebee Foran of Forager. This initiative invites organisations to reimagine underused outdoor spaces, rooftops, courtyards, even car parks, as thriving, edible, biodiverse allotments. It’s a chance to connect employee wellbeing with corporate sustainability in a way that’s grounded, visible, and deeply human.


Why Growing Food is a Smart Business Strategy

Traditionally, allotments are seen as community hobbies or personal side projects. But in today’s corporate context, they offer something more:


🌱 A space for mindfulness and daily decompression

🌱 A creative outlet for collaboration and innovation

🌱 A living ecosystem that reflects and supports your sustainability metrics


GrowAllot for Business turns everyday spaces into green hubs for connection, purpose, and systemic thinking. It’s where culture and climate action intersect, where wellbeing grows alongside vegetables.


What the Programme Offers

This isn’t just another sustainability workshop. GrowAllot is designed to embed lasting environmental thinking into your organisation’s culture:


1. Raise Awareness: We collaborate with your leadership and sustainability teams to craft a tailored strategy, aligning growing projects with your broader ESG roadmap, no matter where you’re starting from.

2. Deliver Interactive Learning: Teams participate in hands-on sessions across the full growing cycle, from seed to harvest. These experiences build team cohesion, inspire creativity, and foster tangible skills that extend beyond the workplace.

3. Embed Sustainable Culture: We’re not just planting gardens, we’re cultivating habits. By making sustainability a daily practice, GrowAllot supports long-term transformation across your workforce and your climate commitments.



The Wellbeing Connection

Even brief interactions with nature can lead to lower stress, improved concentration, and a stronger sense of belonging.


GrowAllot makes space for these everyday moments. Whether it's watering a seedling during lunch, harvesting greens with colleagues, or pausing beside a rooftop planter, these rituals help employees reconnect, with nature, with each other, and with themselves.


Launching in 2026: Pilot Access Now Open


GrowAllot for Business will launch fully in 2026, but in 2025, we’re opening exclusive pilot access for organisations ready to pioneer this next wave of workplace sustainability.

If you’re ready to explore how growing food can help your people thrive, and make your sustainability goals visible and actionable, we’d love to hear from you.
