The Wilderness is a charity that relies on the support of visitors to ensure that we conserve this special garden for everyone.The Wilderness&#x27; 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 &#x27;fast forest&#x27; 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.
