When:

Volunteering is available Thursdays and Fridays 9am – 3pm, Saturdays 9am – 2pm and every 4th Sunday 9am – 1pm. It is not necessary to stay for the entire duration – whatever time you can give is deeply appreciated.

Activities include:

  • Propagation
  • Potting Up
  • Weeding
  • Washing Pots
  • Filling Plant Orders
  • Seed Cleaning

Safety

When attending the nursery, please use our QR code to check in (or on our iPad if you do not have access). We also have hand sanitiser at the gate. Activities will be organised so that social distancing can be observed.

Please bring all your own cutlery, mugs, crockery etc. Hot water, tea and coffee will be provided.

Facilities

Community nursery facilities include a volunteer meeting room with kitchen and adjoining pergola, administration room, seed room, tool shed, potting up area, propagation igloos, shade-house, open growing areas – some with benches, automatic watering system and an artificial wetland constructed for filtering nutrients from water.

A small community garden has recently been constructed where volunteers can learn about organic gardening techniques, permaculture and sustainable living through green-waste recycling, composting and worm farming.
