Braywick Heath Nurseries
We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs
We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.55 GoodGymers have supported Braywick Heath Nurseries with 94 tasks.

Karen and Sheila were delighted to be joined at Braywick Heath Nurseries by Bejay who was doing a spot of GoodGym touristing all the way from Ruislip. Our task today was all about moving plants around - putting the best ones on display for sale, particularly those for the authmn/winter season. We all got loads of steps in, moving the plants from the glasshouses to the outside sales area to tempt the customers. It was great to meet Bejay - do come and join us again!
Name that Plant

This was Sheila's first visit to Braywick Plant Nurseries since the announcement was made that it is due to close at the end of the year. Despite this, we continue to care for and nurture the plants. While the students from Talkback pruned the overwintering perennials, I was given the task of re-labelling the plants which had lost their original labels. It was a great test of my plant knowledge!
Calm after the Storm

Today's session at Braywick Plant Nursery was setting things to rights after the storm. I spent the morning righting pots which had blown over, re-uniting labels with their plants and clearing twigs and branches which had blown down from the oak tree

Moving plants around was the order of the day at Braywick Nursery. We started outside, moving all the perennials onto accessible benches as autumn begins to set in. When the rain started we moved into the glasshouse, and transferred all the pansies in flower so that they could be seen more easily, and making sure that a the six-packs all had a full complement of plants

Karen and Sheila were on throwing -out duty today at Braywick Heath Nurseries. It was out with all the annuals which were past their prime and could not be sold We managed to save some which still looked in good condition - hopefully they will be found a nice new home. The rest will benefit the compost heap!
Getting autumn ready!

Karen went to Braywick Heath nurseries and spent the morning filling six packs (the pots, not the toned muscles!) with compost in preparation for the autumn plug plants being delivered. Working with one of the employees, they filled several hundred trays which are now ready to be planted up. Happily there was a large fan in place to keep them cool as they worked.
