Community gardens and spaces
Norwich is full of amazing residents and groups who volunteer their time to transform green spaces into vibrant, welcoming places for everyone. Want to join them? Norwich City Council is here to help you make it happen.
Why get involved?
Community gardens and shared spaces bring people together, improve wellbeing, and make our neighbourhoods greener and friendlier. Whether it’s a small patch of land or a larger park area, your efforts can make a big difference.
How to start - apply for a green permit
To get involved in managing or improving a community green space, you'll need to apply for a green permit. The application helps us understand your ideas and how the space will be used.
