We are looking for a gardening session volunteer to develop and run sessions as our service users are really keen to make use of our fantastic garden space. We have a very large back garden with space for growing plants and vegetables.
We are looking for people who have a good knowledge of gardening, in particular growing and looking after plants and would like to pass on that knowledge. The gardening sessions will run on a weekly basis and our service users will be included in the decision making. The volunteer role will also involve an element of fundraising for our gardening project and we’d welcome your ideas and support with this.
If you love gardening and have experience of allotments, or planting and growing vegetables in your back garden then this is the volunteering opportunity for you!
