Aspire 4 U CIC

The Community Environment Network aims to connect community groups working on environment action, boost their efforts, and also inspire and support new groups. 

Aspire 4 U CIC community garden in the heart of Dudley Town centre is a small, urban green space where visitors and volunteers can enjoy quiet. 

As part of their Nature Call to Action campaign, they are working with the local community and volunteers to create a 'QR Code Garden' where visitors can scan the QR codes to discover stories, sounds and information about the plants, habitats and wildlife around them. 

As well as engaging new people through the QR project, they will be adding upcycled planters for pollinator friendly plants and food growing. 

Get in touch with community@aspire4u.co.uk to find out about visiting the garden or volunteering.

All sessions will take place at Dudley Wellbeing Garden from 1pm-3pm each Friday in March. Find out more information about each session below:
