FREE Green Skills course in Nottingham

Learn FREE green skills and be part of an exciting new community project !

The Little Walled Garden in Bilborough (Nottingham) is an allotment space that we are transforming into a community hub to host activities for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

This is a great way to gain work experience, learn from local environment experts, and be part of something amazing!

You can meet new people, build up self-confidence, improve your health and wellbeing – all while learning a range of green skills.

Our Green Skills course is for local residents (aged 19+) who are out of work. It combines volunteering with learning new skills, and working towards a common goal.

Choose what you want to learn:

  • Allotment growing
  • Brick working
  • Carpentry and DIY
  • Landscaping, habitat management
  • Biodiversity
  • ..and more

We ran this course in spring/summer of 2024 and have made some great changes already. Are you up for making it even better?

Courses take place every week on Tuesdays and Fridays, with flexible times to suit your availability. Lunch will be provided.

Upon completion, you will receive a certificate that can help you showcase the skills you’ve learned and the experience gained.
