Volunteer Gardening Days
Volunteer gardening workdays are held on the last Saturday of each month (except December) from 10am to 1pm. We try to have fun as well as work hard and we stop for a drink and snack 1/2 way through the morning. We all just help on the dates and times we can. We meet in the Scout Hut car park which can be accessed off Marsland Road or from the Gardens just beyond the Japanese Garden.
All tools and equipment provided; just come dressed for gardening. Jobs for all abilities and aptitudes!
The next volunteer gardening day is on Saturday 26th May 2012 starting at 10.00am.
Celebrating the 2011/12 Green Flag award.
