Welcome to our Urban Harvest blog,
the diary of a city garden.
Urban Harvest is the food growing element of the WASH project, a five-year learning programme to connect communities with nature.
‘WASH’ stands for Washwood Adaptation Sustainability Hub
We are based at The Dolphin Centre and Ward End Park in Washwood Heath, Birmingham.
The WASH project and Urban Harvest are delivered by Norton Hall Children & Family Centre, a charity based in B8 that nurtures, inspires and empowers communities where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

The Blank Canvas
The balcony will help people to grow food at home with limited budget and space.
-
The Initial Proposal
The Early Concept for the Balcony was developed with a co-design workshop in with local women.
-
The Window Box
The window box is the perfect vessel for food growing, not just flowers but herbs and salads.
Norton Hall Children & Family Centre is excited to begin this new environmental project centred around the local community of Ward End Park.
WASH Project is made possible due to funding that has been awarded by The Climate Action Fund from The National Lottery Community Fund, and other donors, to whom we are deeply appreciative.
