Plants that save
lives in Africa
Our plant nursery on Ashley Green Road, Chesham is a professional operation that is totally committed to making your garden a place of utter beauty, bursting with the colour and fragrance of plants that are lovingly nurtured by our team of dedicated volunteers.
​
They give their time because they love growing gorgeous garden plants and giving great value for money at the same time as knowing that every penny raised will be used to provide life saving and life enhancing services to children currently living in acute poverty in the poorest communities in South Africa. Some of our volunteers have their own special needs but are excited about reaching out across continents to help peers they will never meet!
​​
in 2026, the nursery is open from the beginning of May until the end of September, from 08.00 until 13.00 every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
We are also able to open for group visits at other times by appointment - contact paul@rootandbranchchange.org with your request. ​
