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. kneeling or bending to weed\, wheelbarrowing woodchip for paths\, planting a big area with transplants). \nIf you’re worried about your body’s stamina or mobility\, you might prefer to start with the Community Garden drop-in sessions instead. \nBut 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.

But it’s time to bring it back using agroecology – for community health\, food sovereignty\, biodiversity\, climate adaptation\, and resilient local economies. \nOn this tour\, we will share what agroecological food production looks like in practice here at at Lauriston Farm\, at this moment in time. \nWe will gather in the farmyard at the back of Toby Carvery car park – Lauriston Farm Road\, Edinburgh EH4 5EX \nThe farm tour will take in the: \n\nMarket Garden\nAgroforestry alleys (lines of trees that create sheltered and stable space to grow other crops\, as well as bringing crops of fruits and nuts themselves)\nMiddle Field (the next area to be turned to food production)\n\nYou’ll hear from the Market Garden growers and some of the rest of the team – sharing what we’ve done\, why we’ve done it\, and what we’ve learned so far \n+ then all return to the Community Kitchen for soup\, bread and chat. \nWho is This For?\nWe welcome all curious visitors\, including total newcomers with no previous knowledge about farming\, as well as farmers and growers and anyone interested in a career or volunteering in this type of work. The tour is aimed at adults or interested young people (younger children also welcome if it would be their idea of a good time!) \nTickets\nThere are three ticket prices: \nSolidarity – offer if you can: £9 \nStandard ticket: £6 \nSolidarity – take if you need: £3 \nChoosing to pay the higher Solidarity rate helps us make the event accessible to those who can’t afford the standard ticket price.
