On the 15 acre site we have a community growing space, community orchard, a range of wildlife habitats including woodland, hedges, meadows and a pond, and we’re developing community plots with individual raised beds and in-ground growing spaces. Our free outreach and engagement activities include running a nature-based outdoor afterschool club one day a week. holiday activities for primary school aged children. twice-weekly practical volunteering sessions. weekly well-being in nature sessions. and a variety of public events for families and individuals.
