New community garden needs your input

A new community garden has recently opened on the corner of Stanford Avenue and Cleveland Road in Preston Park. Now the organisers need your input to make the garden a success. Ideas for the name of the garden, what plants should be grown there and any ideas for funding the project are welcomed. It's down to the community to make the garden flourish so get involved and have your say. Email your suggestions to This email address is being protected from spambots.

The first of many summers for new city orchard

We're excited to announce that the Racehill Community Orchard in Whitehawk has been awarded £25,000 funding from the Veolia Environmental Trust and £10,500 from the Big Tree Plant. The money will be used to plant over 200 apple, pear and plum trees making the orchard the largest in Brighton & Hove. 

Thank you to everyone who came along to the summer picnic on Saturday 15th June. There are activity days at the orchard planned throughout the summer, see our events page for upcoming dates.
