The Weller Centre Community Garden
Amersham Road, Caversham, RG4 5NA
Every Tuesday from 10.15-12pm we run a community gardening session led by a Food4Families Garden Tutor.
The aim is to garden together in a beautiful setting, and share any produce. There are shaded seating areas, vines, fruit and veg beds and even a fig tree.
"I enjoy the Weller Centre Community Garden sessions as we plan our projects together and follow our interests. In the last year we have cleared and sown a wildflower area, renovated an overgrown bed, planting it up with hundreds of daffodils and grown a wide variety of flowers and vegetables. We have just finished sowing and planting up a welcome bed near the gate." Stephen, Garden Volunteer.
Sessions are free to attend and there is a free bakery and a café in the Community Centre for drinks and snacks. A jacket potato lunch is served afterwards at the centre that costs only £3.
How to get involved
The Weller Centre Community Garden is a friendly group, always keen to meet new people, whatever their gardening experience. Anyone can drop in between 10.15am and 12pm on a Tuesday to say hello and give it a try.
Support us with Co-op

History
In 2011, Food4Families designed and built the current garden in a disused section of the Weller.jpg)
Centre Grounds. Since then, we have worked with many local community groups and volunteers to develop the garden and grow produce in it. More recently we have added additional beds and a 1,500 litre water butt with the help of corporate groups and local volunteers.
