Urban Wilderness is a local project for local people. We welcome anyone who'd like to come in, get involved and enjoy the space - all you need to do is pop in.
You don't need previous experience, and people of all ages, races and physical ability are welcome. You might want to do some serious gardening, or you might simply want to come in and enjoy the surroundings (or anything in between!) we welcome everyone. All we ask is that you respect the garden and all of the others who are part of it.
Come in any time or contact us for some more information.
