Petallica Flower Farm CIC

Description

Petallica Flower Farm use their farm to build community and wellbeing in South Wales.

By selling flowers to fund inclusive sessions, they bring hundreds of people together to plant and harvest flowers, learn practical skills and connect with others. 100% of participants report a positive impact on their mental health. After a successful pilot renting incubator space to local ethical micro-startups, Petallica have identified a major opportunity to scale this model. However, they lack the seed funds and people power.

The Fore’s grant will allow Petallica to hire a Coordinator and fit out a new space for micro-businesses. This will drive financial self-sufficiency, create local jobs, and support new programmes for those with autism and special educational needs, accelerating Petallica’s journey toward becoming one of the region’s leading community and enterprise hubs.
