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 and families 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.

Plant Swap
2026-05-31 12:00 - 15:00 | St Anne’s Community Garden, 152 Beech Hill Ave, Wigan, Greater Manchester, WN6 7TA, United Kingdom
Our next Sunday session is also our annual plant swap! If you have sown too many seeds this year or just have plants that you’ve fallen out of love with, bring them along and grab some new ones.

We host this each year, and it’s always a great event with so many interesting plants. We love seeing what people bring along and there’s usually plenty to share
We can help divide or provide pots for split plants, etc. We have spare compost, etc., if needed.

We also have plants and seeds here to offer out, so you can just pop along for af ree plant too, even if you have nothing to share.

It’s always super family-friendly and free to attend. We have kids’ toys in the garden and usually a few biscuits to share. Just drop in

Tell your friends!

Balsam Bash & Walk in Elnup Woods
2026-06-07 11:00 - 12:30 | Elnup Woods, Parkbrook Lane, WN6 8AF
Join us for a guided walk in Elnup woods and bash Himalayan Balsam as we find it.
Meet up at the woods entrance on Parkbrook Lane, WN6 8AF on 7th June at 11am
This is a fun and satisfying activity for everyone, as we all enjoy the beauty of these ancient woodlands along Mill Brook.
Though this plant can look lovely, it is extremely prolific and invasive, and it’s a danger to our native woodlands, rivers and canals. So let’s all pitch in!
We will help everyone to identify the correct plants, and will show the correct method for bashing
The walk is suitable for families and adults; it’s around 1.6 miles long loop and has steps and uneven paths. We’ll be walking, but stopping and starting a bit, so we expect it to take around 1.5 -2 h
You don’t need to book, but if you want to text 07768202818 to let us know if you’re coming, and we’ll know to wait.
Volunteer balsam bashing events can make a real difference in protecting our waterways. You can read more about the dangers to native wildlife and our rivers here canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/canal-and-river-wildlife/canal-and-river-invasive-species/himalayan-balsam
