Garden Volunteers needed
Are you at a loose end with time on your hands? Would you like to get involved in a community project? Are you feeling lonely or isolated and would like to get out more? Why not come and see us at Reach Community Garden?
We have a number of opportunities for people to get involved in this community garden project. Our garden volunteers come together on a regular basis to develop the site, water, weed, sow seeds and plant out juvenile plants. Our volunteers also have a say in how our site is developed for future enjoyment of local people. No previous experience or training needed, all are welcome!
