Changes in the polytunnels!

There are signs in the polytunnel of an autumn transformation around the corner, as the polytunnel, still producing tomatoes, chillies and aubergines, will make way for winter salads of lettuces, kale, chard and spinach that will thrive in the cold winter temperatures and short days.

World Habitat Day: Celebrating All things Growing!

Monday was World Habitat Day so want to show a few habitat spaces we’re creating together at Wildbrook Community Food and Growing Hub.
From our no-dig vegetable beds that develop good soil health, to the pond that’s becoming a haven for insects and birds, and the orchard that feeds both people and pollinators — different areas of the site creating more connected habitats.

It’s not just about growing food — it’s about community, biodiversity, and resilience.

If you're local and want to be part of the project, come join us! Volunteer, share your skills, or just pop by.
