We are working in partnership with other organisations to improve resident's health and wellbeing through conservation and landscape maintenance work in their local community. Below is a list of schemes that are currently being held across the Borough.

Brook Lane Community Garden

Brook Lane is a community garden which provides a facility for people of all ages to come and participate in gardening and landscape management sessions to improve their mental and physical wellbeing through growing projects and learning about and creating wildlife habitats.

The scheme is a joint venture between partner organisations such as Certitude and JustB as well as a facility for school session learning environmental studies. If you are a school or represent a community group please contact us for further information.
