About this event

Pruning, digging, clearing, building, watering, harvesting! Volunteers on the Heritage Garden sessions are never short of a mixed variety of tasks! There is something for all levels and abilities, and a welcoming, social atmosphere.

We ask that you attend an induction session before or soon after your first sessions (also on Eventbrite). But please contact us if you cannot make one, as we are happy to make alternative arrangements if needed.

Meet at Ransom Road entrance for 10am.

We will then walk together to the Heritage Garden (about 10minutes into site)

Booking is essential, and please be prompt!

Any questions, please email us at volunteer@staa-allotments.org.uk
