we meet once a week on a Monday morning 10-1200 to carry out a variety of garden related tasks. These include outdoor physical tasks such as weeding, planting and pruning. Also indoor tasks such as sowing seeds,potting on plants and watering in the glasshouse. We have a social hour afterwards with tea and biscuits.

There are also admin type roles, we run monthly workshops for the volunteers and the public so help is welcome to organise these.

We plan and carry out projects to enhance the park in conjunction with the other stakeholders. We hold plant sales to fundraise.
