Community Gardening
ARC engage volunteers to create, improve and manage green spaces in the local community.
Some of the spaces where we work are open to the general public, with ongoing volunteering opportunities
Such as Foundry Wood, Packmores Community Garden, Priory Park and New Street Burial Ground.
We also work with groups or organizations to create therapeutic gardens.
Foundry Wood
Foundry Wood is a managed access community woodland created by ARC in 2013.
Packmores Community Garden
ARC delivers a Wellbeing in Nature group at Packmores Community Garden.
Priory Park
In 2021, ARC were invited by the Friends of Priory Park to initiate a nature trail around the park to engage the community in this wonderful green space in Warwick town centre.
New Street Burial Ground
Throughout 2017 and 2018 ARC transformed the underutilised and neglected, disused burial ground on New Street in South Leamington into a colourful, creative community space.
Packington Place
In 2015 and 2016 ARC worked with the local community to transform an ugly concrete patch next to the Packington Place carpark into the first ‘Pocket Park’ for Leamington spa.
Therapeutic gardens
ARC have created two Therapeutic gardens with local service providers.
