The idea
The 'Green Rooms' project at Gorse Hill Studios aims to transform under-used outdoor spaces into vibrant, accessible green areas that engage the community and enhance biodiversity.
The 'Garden Rooms' will feature a sensory garden, vegetable patch, and wildlife habitats, while the 'Green Theatre' will provide a multifunctional outdoor learning and performance space.
The Rhubarb Community Cafe, run by volunteers and young people, will serve produce grown on-site, providing work experience and nurturing community connections.
These spaces will support horticultural therapy, environmental education, and local events, promoting well-being, sustainability, and a deeper connection with nature.
