Description
MCCI are looking for keen, enthusiastic individuals who would like to volunteer within Methilhill Learning Garden, carrying out a variety of tasks. If you enjoy being outdoors and have one or two spare hours a week they would love to hear from you.
There will be a variety of tasks including some general DIY. They need help maintaining the garden - trees, flowers, herbs and bushes - they have planted. Families or friends are welcome to volunteer as a group.
Gardening knowledge would be an advantage but it’s not essential, if you’re enthusiastic and willing to muck in. Here is a list of the types of things you might be asked to do in the garden: weeding, planting, trimming, pruning, maintaining paths, cutting grass, tidying up.
