About Lend and Tend

Established in 2014. We’re a garden-sharing community who have nature and our neighbourhoods are at the heart of what we do. 

When gardening delivers so many benefits, we don’t want a single space going to waste. Joining our community improves health and well-being, and local biodiversity, boosts community spirit and helps people grow lovely fresh produce. 

Our ambition is to connect 100,000 Lenders and Tenders across the land*. 

Alongside our matching service, we work with social housing providers and community food groups to deliver free access to gardens and put fresh food into local food banks.

* Anyone in the world is welcome to sign up and we’ll help where we can, however our focus for garden-sharing is currently in the UK. 

As a supporter, you’re enabling local gardeners to grow their own and share excess produce with a nearby Trussell Trust food bank. You’ll have access to our online community, where you’ll be able to sign up for garden flash mobs, community picnics, tool sharing and swapping events. You’ll also be able to watch/listen our content to hear tips and inspiration from across the community.

We’ll share 50% of our profits with charities that support the communities where we work. These are our current charity partners but we are always keen to hear about other organisations who are supporting communities like ours.
