About us
Wild Heritage Suffolk CIC - a garden for nature and for people
What is a C.I.C?
A C.I.C is a Community Interest Company; a social enterprise that exists to benefit the community rather than private shareholders.
At Wild Heritage Suffolk CIC, our aim is to create a safe and community=based vegetable and wildlife-friendly garden where people can volunteer, learn, socialise and enjoy themselves.
What do we do?
-
run volunteer days for everyone and anyone to come along and get stuck in
-
manage a native wildflower and heritage vegetable nursery
-
sell our produce and other local goods from our little rustic shop
-
manage the restoration of the beautiful walled garden
What are we hoping to do in future?
-
run educational workshops and classes for everyone and anyone to enjoy, be it interest groups, vulnerable groups, schools groups etc. These will range from learning about conservation and biodiversity to organic growing and propagation and lots lots more!
-
run outreach projects in local woodlands, community spaces, hospital grounds and schools to help to educate, providing plants and ideas
-
continue to develop and expand, always looking for new spaces and opportunities
-
run bespoke volunteering days for people with additional needs
-
increase our range of native wildflower species to those that are endangered in their natural surroundings
-
develop our little rustic shop by inviting a wider range of local businesses to join us
-
continue to encourage everyone to do their little bit for conservation and community
-
and of course continue the restoration of the beautiful walled garden.
