Summary
Surrounding SHQ we have a large plot that our volunteers are transforming into four dedicated gardens: Wildlife, Sensory, Kitchen & Memorial gardens.
Detailed description
Since taking on the transformation of the derelict SHQ building our team is also working to create a beautiful set of gardens in which our visitors can relax. Much has already been done to clear and revitalise the gardens but there is still more to do! We have an excellent greenhouse to bring cuttings on and there are lots of opportunities to make a difference in bringing new life to this once neglected part of Norfolk.
It does not matter if you have no previous experience of gardening, we are all on a learning curve with this garden. Although the building is open three days a week (Wed, Thurs, Sat), the hours available are completely flexible as the gardens can be accessed at any time of any day. We are a very friendly group and whether you are young or old, you can be sure of a warm welcome, and a piece of cake of course. If you would like to see more, please join our Facebook group or pop over to meet us.

About SHQ Veterans Centre West Raynham
The SHQ Veterans Centre at West Raynham is an initiative to regenerate a building that has been neglected for nearly 30 years, in doing so it is also helping to transform the lives of its volunteers. The Grade II Listed Station Head Quarters at the former site of RAF West Raynham is now being renovated by an enthusiastic band of volunteers in an effort to create an activity centre that will serve both the community and former members of the Armed Forces and the Emergency Services in the region. We are a friendly, all volunteer, group working together in many capacities to create a better future for West Norfolk. Please drop in and see what what we are doing.
