Japara Bridge Community Garden is a vibrant community space, proudly run in collaboration with Valley Care. Food is grown and shared by local residents, horticulturalists, and students, creating a welcoming environment for all. The site includes a community compost hub, a free food cupboard, and the tranquil Garden of Contemplation, perfect for quiet reflection.

Visitors are always welcome to stroll through the gardens or relax and socialise with friends. We also offer great learning opportunities for local early years and primary school students to explore and discover.
