Welcome to Ability Grows
Supporting Vulnerable Adults Through Social & Therapeutic Horticulture
Ability Grows is a unique indoor plant shop in Greenfield, North Wales, created with the help of Clocktower service users who upcycled and repurposed old furniture into modern LED growing units.
We offer houseplants, grow-your-own kits, and sustainable plant care products while providing therapeutic horticulture and meaningful activities for adults with learning disabilities.
Shop in-store or online and support inclusive, eco-conscious growing.
Run in collaboration with adults with learning disabilities and additional needs, Ability Grows offers a welcoming retail space where therapeutic horticulture, life skills training, and meaningful work come together. Every purchase supports inclusive employment, eco-conscious practices, and community wellbeing.
Discover our range of rare and easy-care houseplants, grow-your-own kits, and repurposed planting systems – perfect for plant lovers, educators, carers, and wellbeing centres. Visit us in-store or explore our online plant shop to grow with us
