About this Event

Every green space, no matter how small, can work harder for nature and address the need to adapt to a changing climate. Come and find out about new ideas and ingenious solutions that are happening on the ground. Visit some community gardens in Mile Cross, where the ambition to create a more resilient and nature-rich Norwich are well under way. Share your experiences, discuss opportunities and together let’s make a quantum leap forward for our local environment.

Location: The Common Lot Community Skill Sharing Hub 185 Drayton Rd, Norwich, NR3 2PG. What3Words: lights.piles.salsa . From here we will go to explore some of the community gardens on this historic estate.
