The Bircham Centre walled garden is a haven in the middle of Reepham. It features bench seating and attractive planting so residents, workers and visitors can pop in for quiet contemplation, a takeaway coffee or a packed lunch, especially if the sun emerges as the seasons move into spring.

The garden has a team of dedicated volunteers who ensure that it remains a tranquil, inspirational space all year round.
There are already signs of spring flowers, with bulbs starting to shoot and shrubs beginning to produce buds, promising a wealth of colour in a few weeks’ time.
The garden volunteers − a friendly bunch comprising helpers with all levels of garden knowledge and experience − meet every Friday morning between 10 am and 1 pm.
Absolute beginners, keen enthusiasts and even Alan Titchmarsh are all welcome. The ground is warming up and there are lots of jobs to be doing for willing helpers − there is no commitment to be there for every session.
The garden is open every day except when hired out for private events. Details of hire charges for the garden or any of the Bircham Centre’s event rooms are available HERE.
