Where are the Community Growing Spaces?

The Gwersyllt Community Growing Space is in the cul-de-sac off Third Avenue, with entry via Renfrew Close, LL11 4EF.
Thanks to the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF), along with the Rhos and Gwersyllt spaces, growing spaces have been completed in Cefn Mawr, Caia Park Partnership, Y Venture, Garden of Rest, Ashfield Park and at seven schools in Wrexham, all with the help our local low carbon community groups.
If anyone is interested in helping out at any of the community growing projects or the local low carbon community groups, please contact decarbonisation@wrexham.gov.uk and we will be sure to point you in the right direction.
“Contribute to a greener Wrexham”
Cllr David A Bithell, Deputy Leader, Lead Member for Housing and Climate Champion, said: “The gardening workshops allow residents to learn some valuable skills that can help contribute to a greener Wrexham. It’s a simple and powerful way to reduce your carbon footprint and make a real difference.”
