The Wilderness is a charity that relies on the support of visitors to ensure that we conserve this special garden for everyone.The Wilderness' 4-acres of woodland and acidic bogland is conserved and maintained to the original vision of its creator Revd. William Wilks. It is used for social therapeutic horticulture, dementia-friendly activities and is a space for those with mental, physical, and social disadvantages to enjoy a biophilic connection. The garden showcases wild gardening and horticultural activities sensitive to climate change, and our 'fast forest' demonstrates how easy habitats for biodiversity can generate quickly in small spaces. Young people and children learn about ecosystems and climate change and we open to the public as a mental escape from their busy lives.
