Working in conjunction with Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Birmingham has identified in excess of 16,000m² of land that will either be re-designated for food production or habitat enhancement.

The ambitious project hopes to bring together a vast collection of organisations, charities and businesses to become partners for the improvement of this land.

From wildflowers to growing fruit and bee keeping to woodland walks, the Community Orchard and Gardens project covers a huge variety of areas on the hospital campus that will have a variety of aims but the main focus is on improving the areas for use by the local community, hospital patients, visitors and staff.
