Have you thought of working in the garden as a volunteer?

A chance to work outside amongst nature and help with the maintenance and development of this remarkable garden. Our group is friendly and welcoming and if you come on one of our Saturday sessions refreshments are available!

Not everyone is free on a Saturday but we also have weekday morning gatherings. Ideal for those who are retired, recovering from illness, shift workers etc. These sessions are usually on a
Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday morning.
If you would like to try it out email [email protected].

A fantastic working morning followed by our AGM. Boarders mulched, paths edged and a new bench with a brilliant view over the garden.

The garden is looking absolutely stunning is the sunshine! Why not pay us a visit this next week and check it out for yourself?
