Join our Community Gardening Team for friendly sessions where you can get your fresh-air fix, share skills, and take home your own grown fresh veggies, fruits and flowers every session.
Being in the garden is great for physical and mental health and we offer a range of activities to bring out the benefits for everyone who comes along.
At each of our three gardening hubs, we run Garden Club sessions, which are free to access and open to all, regardless of ability and experience. We'll always find a way for you to join in at your pace and help you get the most out of being in the garden.
