In 2014 the Heritage Foundation joined forces with the Royal Horticultural Society to create a sustainable community garden in Letchworth Garden City. The garden was created with support from local community gardening group, ARCH, in the Wynd, at the heart of Letchworth town centre, to inspire local residents and highlight the fantastic things that can be achieved in a garden or allotment. In 2015 a second garden was added at the Wynd to create a tranquil setting in the town centre and to encourage wildlife. The team of volunteers have looked after the Gardens from the outset, making sure the community can benefit and enjoy the space and locally grown produce.

Volunteers maintain the Wynd Community Gardens, improving the natural environment, ensuring plants thrive, encouraging wildlife and enhancing the experience of everyone spending time at or passing through the gardens. The range of plants in the gardens includes shrubs, flowers, fruit, herbs and vegetables.

The team of volunteers meet as a group fortnightly on Saturday mornings from 09:00-12:00 to carry out the community gardening sessions, plus there are opportunities to help at other times depending on volunteer availability and seasonal activities.

Activities include:
Preparing beds for planting
Sowing seeds and planting ready-grown plants
Looking after plants throughout the seasons
Watering and feeding plants
Trimming shrubs, pruning and managing plant growth
Helping with maintenance of the gardens
Preparing signage for vegetable plots
Co-ordinating activity with fellow volunteers
Helping all visitors to learn about and benefit from the gardens

The amount of waste generated in Indian cities has seen a manifold increase over the years. Much of this waste is never collected and finds its way to our streets, slums, parks and water bodies that are anyways heavily encroached and where the most vulnerable reside. This waste not only poses a grave environmental challenge to the humans but also to the other species in our ecosystem.

Citizens are getting more aware about these challenges and want to work in their own small ways towards mitigating such challenges. However, not many find the avenues or guidance to take these steps. Thus, the interest and keenness to contribute withers away.

As an organization, working on education and environment, we believe that we need to utilize such opportunities to connect people with nature – their immediate environment and the larger ecological systems. It is through such awareness about the interdependence that we can bring about changes.

The Nature Connect - Awareness through Action is conceived as a simple yet powerful action oriented, experiential program that raises awareness about the challenges around waste. Through this programme the participants will be able to see for themselves the issues related to waste generation and how it is impacting our environment and ecological systems including the water bodies. The programme is modelled around experiential design methodology of how citizens can approach problems and do their bit by understanding the issue and then taking small and mindful actions in their daily lives.

Come volunteer and participate in the weekly/bi-weekly (held on Sundays) clean up drives. You can join yourself and get your friends and colleagues and family along for a chance to make a difference and feel good.
