WELCOME TO THE WHA!
Whatever the reason for loving your garden, we can offer members a programme of interesting activities and events throughout the year, and access to our WHA Trading Store. Most of our members have small gardens, and whether you have a particular interest in roses, dahlias, fruit or vegetables, you are sure to find like-minded gardeners willing to share their enthusiasm and knowledge with you.

WHA Garden Room at Ormonde Road Allotments
Our Garden Room at Ormonde Road allotments has been featured in Wokingham Today: https://wokingham.today/wha-members-need-not-be-lonely-in-their-outdoor-garden-room/
Many thanks to all the volunteers who have made this possible with their hard work. The WHA has also joined the Chatty Bench scheme as the Garden Room includes a bench for members to sit and chat. The Garden Room is available during the day when the allotments are open.
