Thank you for your interest in Nene Nursery and for landing on this page to find out more – we look forward to welcoming you to our micro plant nursery soon.

We are keen to update you on our plans and programmes coming up!

‘Grow With Us – Gardening, Cookery & Craft’ social prescribing series

Dates in June

Mondays - 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 June

We will explore caring for and propagating house plants, along with creating seasonal and natural crafts.

We will again offer a mix of gardening, cookery and craft activities and there will be plenty of hot and cold drinks and biscuits available. All of the sessions are suitable for adults (18+) of all abilities and all materials and tools will be provided.

These Green Social Prescribing workshops use nature-based activities to improve people’s health and wellbeing and support people that might be experiencing physical health or mental health challenges. If you would like to attend you can be referred by your GP or a healthcare professional, or self-refer yourself by booking a place at the button below.

These sessions are funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund through the ‘Your Community Green Space’ project and are therefore currently free to attend.

We are also now able to pay for people’s transport to these sessions, thanks to the funding from Cambridgeshire Community Foundation.  Please reach out at the contact details below so we can help get this organised for you.

If you have any questions prior to visiting or would like to let us know of any support, access or dietary requirements, please contact us on [email protected] or by calling or texting the Project Officer’s work phone on 07917 977 434.

Parking

The nearest parking is at Ferry Meadows Visitor Centre (PE2 5UU) and a 5 minute walk south will take you to the Nursery (head southwards down Ham Farm Lane from the Visitor Centre, pass the Caravan Club’s entrance on the right hand side and continue south, until the path narrows and if you look to the right, you would see the railway track crossing the Lane, and as you then look across the road on the left, there is a wooden fence and gravel entrance which will take you to the nursery entrance)

What Three Words for the exact location of the Nursery: Guides. Pads. Fork
