Canvey Island (The Gunny)

Growing Together Canvey Island opened in September 2025 and offers a welcoming space where you can enjoy gardening, take part in positive activities with others, access mental health and wellbeing support, and connect with nature.

The garden includes accessible raised beds, green‑roof sheltered gazebos, and a community hub for indoor activities, workshops, and groups. Members also share refreshments and a freshly prepared hot lunch.

Members’ Days run on Mondays, 9:30am – 3:30pm.

Alongside the Growing Together therapeutic garden, the site also features an outdoor gym, supporting your physical wellbeing as part of a holistic approach to health.

You can learn more about how the site was developed and what’s now in place here or by watching the launch video below:
