The Little Walled Garden Community Hub

The Little Walled Garden is a green community hub in Bilborough (Nottingham) where we host events for the whole community.

Over the past year, we have hosted dozens of green skills courses where local people learned allotment growing and gardening, building fences, sheds, and other DIY projects. Took a look below at upcoming activity and get involved!

Location: The Little Walled Garden, St Martin’s Road in Bilborough, NG8 3AR

Volunteering

Help us to maintain this lovely space so we can host events including children’s play sessions, Forest School, adult learning, and more.

Projects include building a cob oven for social eating, DIY, and gardening. You’ll learn new skills, get to meet people, have fun, and give back to your community.

Dates and times are flexible to your needs. People of all ages and abilities are welcome to try a one-off trial session or become a regular volunteer! Be part of something special for the whole community to enjoy.

Corporate volunteering

In September we welcomed staff of the B&Q Nottingham branch to our Little Walled Garden community hub for a corporate volunteering day.

The enthusiastic group helped our Environment team to:

  • Build a new outdoor shelter with materials they donated
  • Put together two benches
  • Clear an area of rubble and fill a skip
  • Level the ground and lay a sleeper bed pathway
  • … and more!

A huge THANK YOU to the hard-working crew, whose improvements to the hub get us another step closer to opening for public events.
