Worcester Community Garden
Worcester Community Garden is a registered charity running a half acre site on the edge of Pitchcroft, Worcester racecourse. Just as our plants grow organically, so does the garden itself. It evolves and develops thanks to the skills, ideas and enthusiasm that our volunteers bring and the spirit of collaboration and community we all treasure.

Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

How do you build a garden that has to withstand flooding several times a year? Come and find out by joining this session at the Community Garden at Pitchcroft. We'll be digging a bog garden and preparing for the construction of a pergola. We can learn about which plants can cope with being submerged regularly too.

It will be just over a 2km to run each way to the project around the racecourse. There is the option of a 1.5km route too if people want something a bit shorter.

Please meet at The Hive ready to go at 6:30pm

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.
