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.

The store will close for Winter from December 1st until January 31st, re-opening on Sunday, February 1st at 10:30am. Click & Collect can still be arranged while the store is closed.

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.

Volunteers always welcome
The WHA is run by volunteers and we're looking for help. In particular, we need volunteers for Publicity and Media support, a Show Secretary to run our horticultural shows, First Aiders, and volunteers for our Trading Store on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. Whether you can donate time or expertise, everything is valuable. If you would like more information about what we do or think you can help, please contact us wha-general@outlook.com. Thank you!
