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.

54 GoodGymers have supported Braywick Heath Nurseries with 86 tasks.

Sorting the Veg

Tuesday 3rd June

Written by Edward Stewart Waller

We were set tasks which were accomplished in the Nursery. We were introduced to the staff who were helpful and happy at work. There were two of us this time, putting plants into large black trays to be filled with water. Last task, we deadheading.

We finished at 11.30am, and then walked home. Just very glad to have helped and enjoy the atmosphere.

Dead heading - the blooming end for flowers

Tuesday 20th May

Written by Karen Meade

Laura and Karen spent a very pleasant morning at Braywick Heath Nursery. They started off putting the rather overgrown pots of vegetables into trays to make them easier to look after. Once the vegetables had been tamed they moved outside to dead head the flowers in the sun.

The last of the 6-packs

Tuesday 6th May

Written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Laura, Karen and Sheila helped out at Braywick Plant Nurseries, potting up plug plants. It's nearing the end of this job for this season and the greenhouses are looking very full of plants ready to sell. We had the honour of potting up the last of the plants to go into 6-packs (Pelargoniums and Petunias), but also impatiens and lavender. Well done on speedy potting up, and the nursery, as ever, we're grateful for our help

Plugging the Gap

Tuesday 22nd April

Written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Braywick Plant Nurseries needed more help with potting up their plug plants, so they can be grown up ready to sell. Didem, Karen and Sheila got a good system going, and got through several trays of plants, keeping Bob busy finding space for them on the sales benches. Great work, team!

Plugging away

Friday 28th March

Written by Diya Singh (she/her)

Four GoodGymers met at Braywick Heath Nursery to help them prepare for a bumper Summer. This meant "plugging" saplings into pots filled with compost.

In a bright back-room, with the radio belting out easy tunes, we plugged away! It was therapeutic, almost. We worked non-stop for 2 hours and must've filled close to 100-200 pots.

Ben, the Nursery manager who worked tirelessly to top up compost, move the filled pots, bring new plugs etc, joked that we had worn him out, we were that efficient! We'll take that as a compliment and look forward to wearing him out again in the future 😂

Plugging the Gap

Tuesday 25th March

Written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Goodgym continues to support Braywick Plant Nurseries in planting up thousands of plug plants, ready for growing on ready for sale. Today it was 4 different colours of Lobelia followed by some Petunias. We kept the staff busy topping up the compost and taking the plants away so we could fill up the trays again. It was so satisfying seeing the fruits of our labours all laid out in the greenhouse. A great team effort
