We are the
Waste Not Want Not Community Nursery

Originally founded as a safe haven for vulnerable individuals, our project has evolved to support adults and young people with learning & physical disabilities, autism, mental health challenges, and social exclusion issues. Through horticulture, upcycling, and creative projects, we help people rediscover confidence and purpose.

We nurture growth in plants and people alike, using therapeutic horticulture to build confidence, connection, and community.

The most important thing you need to know is that there is no charge to come along and join us – you are all welcome

We hope to see you on-site soon.
