The community garden is managed and maintained by volunteers and we are always looking for new people to join our team. Watch this video which shows a few volunteers talking of their experience of the garden and volunteering.
Whether you are interested in environmentally-friendly gardening, helping with events, spreading the word on social media or simply socialising with your neighbours, we would love to hear from you. There’s a lot to do – not just digging! So whatever skills or ideas you can offer, please get involved by popping down to the garden, emailing us or join our WhatsApp info group and introduce yourself.
All ages and levels of experience are welcome. We learn and grow together throughout the year as the garden thrives during the different seasons.
So just bring yourself and wear suitable clothing. Thursday morning is the day a number of our group meet up to garden and discuss future developments, however you can often find a volunteer working hard in the garden on other days too.
We have an action group on WhatsApp where volunteers can keep in touch and discuss specifics about the garden. Please first speak to a volunteer in the garden about volunteering or email or join our info WhatsApp group.
