Community Gardening Club

Launched back in May, our Wigan Warriors Community Garden at Robin Park Arena has blossomed into an even more inviting space, including the first additions of plaques to our celebration wall.

The garden is a quiet and relaxing space for the Community to enjoy, and it is thanks to the work of local businesses and volunteers that we are now able to share this space with everyone. Don’t forget you can join us and take part in our gardening activities every Friday 10am – 12pm.

We have recently received funding from the Green Spaces Fund which has enabled us to move on to the next phase of the garden, which is to provide Horticultural Therapy sessions. We will also be planting further trees, plants and flowers to create new eco systems for local wildlife to thrive.

The garden has been awarded Level 4 status (out of a possible 5 Levels) and described as ‘Thriving’ by Britain in Bloom’s Neighbourhood Awards. We aspire to reach level 5 by making the garden an ‘outstanding’ green space, both educational and therapeutic in its purpose and creating a truly unique environmental community asset for the Wigan population.

The Community garden is also home to our Warriors ‘Celebration wall’ which enables fans to have their piece of history at our training ground – whether that be celebrating a life, a birthday, a great achievement or simply to offer their support to Wigan Warriors. Watch our video below to find out more about our celebration wall, or purchase your plaque HERE.
