Dover -byrådet fortsætter sin mission for at lysne og forskønne byen - og denne sæson, you may have spotted new hanging flower baskets at the underpass and along Castle Street. These vibrant additions sit alongside other larger planters and ongoing greening initiatives across the town centre, helping to create a more welcoming and uplifting environment for everyone.
What you might not see is the care that goes into each display. Every plant is grown and nurtured locally at the Mel Wrigley Hub, a community-focused space where flowers are raised with lots of care before finding their home in the heart of Dover.
Volunteering in Dover
The Mel Wrigley Hub & Volunteering with WCCP
Det Mel Wrigley Hub is more than just a growing space — it’s a volunteer-powered hub that supports a wide range of local environmental efforts. From flower baskets to supporting the WCCP rangers, the hub plays a vital role in Dover’s commitment to greener, more sustainable spaces.
This work forms part of the wider efforts of the Hvide klipper landskabspartnerskab (WCCP), who look after the wild and open green spaces of south-east Kent. Working closely with the local community, volunteers, and partners, WCCP helps protect these areas so that both wildlife and people can thrive.
If you’re passionate about nature, want to learn new skills, or simply want to give back, volunteering with WCCP is a fantastic way to get involved. Whether it’s helping at the Mel Wrigley Hub or out on the meadows, your contribution can make a real difference.
