Volunteer Sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/Y3KTB

It’s a two-hour session, starting at 10am. Please try to arrive on time as we explain and set up all the tasks at the beginning.

We’ll share a coffee and biscuit after, or you can bring your lunch to enjoy in the gardens.

Newcomers and auld hands are all very welcome. You don’t need any specific knowledge or skills to volunteer in the Market Garden. You do need some energy and to be fairly steady on your feet. Market Garden volunteering sessions can involve quite a bit of walking and physical activity. The tasks are usually ‘big jobs’ where many hands make light work (eg. weeding, wheelbarrowing woodchip for paths, planting a big area with transplants).

If you’re worried about your body’s stamina or mobility, you might prefer to start with the Community Garden drop-in sessions instead.

But we don’t ask anyone to go beyond their limits for any task, and you can always take breaks or rotate between jobs. You are welcome to use this as a way to help you build up your fitness. If you are not sure if it’s right for you, please contact us with any questions. Otherwise,
