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.

We want our events, and nature itself, to be accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs or requirements, please get in touch at [email protected] so we can support you wherever possible. Please be aware that the natural terrain and access conditions may limit what we are able to provide on site.
