Wimborne Gardening Club is open to all those interested in growing and learning about growing produce, growing flowers and growing their own knowledge. We were formerly Wimborne Horticultural Society but we have taken the decision to reform, to encourage all ages and abilities. As a young expanding group we will welcome all members of society in the hope we may learn, make new friends and discover plenty of new knowledge and skills e.g. composting or recycling, all in a relaxed friendly environment.

Makers + Shakers is a Wimborne based group that carries out environmental campaigns using its hand-crafted items. These crafted items are intended to influence people towards supporting a more environmentally sustainable society.

They provoke individuals and organisations to think and act in new ways to counter the environmental crisis.  Working together to create items we hope we can foster mindfulness and give the makers an outlet for their feelings of anxiety and despair about the state of the environment.

Trees for Wimborne considers that it is important that our town plays its part in contributing towards the need for more trees across Britain. We would like to see an increase in tree numbers with the aim of attaining a minimum of 20 % canopy cover in Wimborne and the surrounding areas.  We believe that these trees will create multiple benefits: mitigation against climate change, provision of habitats for wildlife, a more interesting landscape reflecting the changing seasons, and as a joy and comfort for those who live, work and visit Wimborne.

Established in 2019, a group for volunteers who care about the town and want to reduce waste and single use plastic. Volunteers created enough fabric bunting to cover the town in 2019 and made red white and blue jubilee bunting in 2022. In 2023 the group has made over 500 Boomerang Bags. These have been donated to Wimborne Food Bank and to some of our independent shops in town.
