Welcome to our Community Garden Green Team @ WHCC

At West Heath Community Centre we want to create a garden for the community to grow, learn and share interests together. Somewhere for growing vegetables and flowers, up-cycling items and creating art. A place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, owned and maintained by the community themselves. Come and get involved!

Help us grow a thriving Community Garden

Soil-Makers Station

A new compost area at the centre so all our garden and grounds waste can be reused instead of thrown away. By turning this waste into fresh, nutrient‑rich compost, we’ll be able to grow healthier plants and keep our outdoor spaces thriving

LAUNCHING our four brand‑new projects.

The Community slice @whcc

We’re converting a trailer into a vibrant pizza bar and social space to bring people together during events. This new area will create a warm, welcoming spot for food, conversation and community fun at the centre.

The Bee & Bloom Bar

A colourful nectar bar filled with wildflowers and pollinator‑friendly plants to support bees, butterflies and insects. This vibrant space will boost pollination across the garden while adding a beautiful splash of colour to the centre.

Tthe Veg & Tunnel Terrace

A new vegetable and herb patch with a part polytunnel so we can grow fresh produce to use at our Sunday Brunch and community events. This space will help the centre become more self‑sufficient while providing home‑grown ingredients for everyone to enjoy.

What is a Green Gym?
The Conservation Volunteers' Green Gym inspires people to improve both their health and the environment at the same time.
All sessions are run by a friendly and experienced leader who will provide training in practical skills. Activities range from gentle to strenuous but you can work at your own level.
We start each session with gentle warm up exercises and finish with a warm down.
What happens at the Green Gym?
The sessions focus on food growing and making changes to lead a healthier lifestyle, but we also do other activities, working at your own pace.
At every session there is a break time, giving you the chance to relax, have a chat and get to know other people.
All tools and equipment are provided and no previous experience is needed.
