Volunteering

Volunteer with us and you could be: weeding, picking fruit, cutting spinach or chard, sowing seeds, planting out baby plants, weeding, harvesting coriander, upcycling old timber into posts for our chicken enclosures, digging new duck ponds, skimming duckweed off the pond, wheel barrowing compost onto beds, watering things, pruning hedges, (and so the list goes on!!)

We start at 1000 and run until 1600. You can join for all or part of the session. It’s best for us if you arrive either at 1000 or 1330, but we are flexible!!

We currently have volunteering spaces on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

If you need gardening gloves we can supply them.

 Lunch on the terrace!

If you are still here at 1600 we will send you home then!

You will need to dress for the weather, and wear suitable things on your feet – it might be wet and muddy underfoot. And when it is hot, it is really hot – we are a bit of sun trap.

Who can volunteer?
No prior experience or knowledge is needed. If you can get about outdoors and are fairly mobile you will be able to join in with what we are doing. Children are welcome to join in if they bring a responsible adult with them.

We have safeguarding arrangements in place for teenagers aged 14-17 to volunteer on Saturdays unaccompanied, which we set up on a case by case basis.

Please contact us to arrange a visit so you can some and see us to talk further.
