Join us in the community garden every other Wednesday morning, 10am – 12pm, for some company and gentle movement in the outdoors.
At the community garden, we tend to several raised beds, borders, a greenhouse, fruit trees, and a wildlife pond together. We grow all kinds of fruit and veg, and there is often produce or plants to take home at the end of a session.
There are always plenty of different jobs to do and things to learn. Anyone is welcome to attend – just show up, there’s no need to book, and no skills are required as all training and tools are provided.
Children are always welcome. We’ve got garden toys and always invite young people to join in with planting and garden jobs if they want.
Please dress for the weather – sessions always go ahead unless it’s pouring with rain. We’ll post on socials if it’s off for any reason.
The space is accessible by wheelchair.

Planting Flowers in the Park
2026-09-21 10:00 - 14:00 | Diggle Street Park, Diggle St,, Wigan, WN6 7DZ
Please join us to continue our project to make Diggle Street Park beautiful for people and pollinators. We took a little break for the summer, but now we’re back now autumn is approaching.

On 21st Sept at 10am, we’ll start creating our 4th flower bed in the park, and we really need your help!

We will be digging out the flower bed and planting a variety of flowers and plants chosen for their resilience, beauty, and appeal to birds and insects.

All tools are provided, plus refreshments and full guidance. If you are staying all day, bring some lunch. You don’t need to stay the whole time, or arrive at 10am.

Children are welcome with adult supervision.

We’ve already got seating installed, planted a native hedgerow, 3 flower beds and, more recently, a community orchard with The Orchard Project.
