About Tayshan Hayden-Smith

Born and raised in Ladbroke Grove, London, I turned to guerrilla gardening as a way of healing following the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy in 2017. Over the past few years, my outlook on life has completely changed in my efforts to gain a sense of purpose, place and community.After a brief career as an aspiring footballer, lucky enough to play professionally, at 23 years old, I founded Grow2Know CiC (now Grow to Know), a not-for-profit collective offering creative nature-based solutions through impact-driven collaborations that aim to solve environmental and social challenges. It is through Grow to Know's work in which there is hope for the seeds of change to be planted.As Founder and Chief Exec of Grow to Know, I have developed, curated and collaborated with the likes of Penguin Random House, Nike, Natural History Museum and has lead creatively through two statement RHS Chelsea Flower Show gardens which evoked thought, emotion and conversation. I take my ambassadorial roles very seriously, offering insights, ideas whilst also keen to listen and learn. I am currently an ambassador for the RHS, The Conduit Club, Earthed and the Tree Council. I am also sometimes seen on BBC's Your Garden Made Perfect, Gardeners World, The One Show and Nick Knowles' Better Homes on Channel 5.It is my intention, through Grow to Know, to shift cultures and behaviours so that we can live in a world that allows both planet and people to coexist, thrive and bloom.I also continue to play football with Grenfell Athletic FC.

    Director
    Maxilla City Cic Jan 2020 - Present
    London, England, United Kingdom
    Maxilla City CiC is a youth-led, non-profit aiming to transform Maxilla Bays 17-19 into a versatile, multipurpose, creative hub in collaboration with the North Kensington community.The history of the space, along with the conversations & involvements initiated by the community, from Kindred Studios to Latimer City to the MAG (Maxilla Advisory Group) meetings, has led us to this point - a journey of progress & hope for the next generations to come.In order to generate ideas for the transformation of Maxilla Bays 17-19, we will be taking a co-design approach as it requires input from those who will directly benefit from & be effected by the changes made. Co-design puts the community at the core of key decision making. The voices of the community will be heard to ultimately shape how Maxilla Bays 17-19 functions & what it will look like.
  • Grow To Know (Grow2Know Cic)
    Founder
    Grow To Know (Grow2Know Cic) Dec 2019 - Present
    North Kensington, England, United Kingdom
    The founding of Grow to Know was in hope to continuously and constantly inspire much needed change following the Grenfell Tower fire as myself and others turned to guerrilla gardening as a form of activism.I have since been on a journey, underpinned by trauma and injustice, whereby I have found myself tapping into creativity in the face of adversity as we seek solutions, joy and justice.Grow to Know has since partnered with the likes of Nike, Gucci, Penguin Random House and Pentagram and more, as we look for local, national and global action to confront social and environmental challenges collaboratively and through community. As founder, my work at Grow to Know has seen me take on many roles (wearing many hats!), but I have particularly embraced my role as Creative Director. I have found myself to be most comfortable approaching challenges through creativity - often coming up with ideas which seek to solve very complex socio-environmental issues working with private, public and third sector brands, institutions and organisations.
