Garden Open Days,
Workshops and Volunteers

Of course none of this would have been possible without the help of numerous volunteers who have donated their time and energy to the project.

We hold regular, open to all, informal volunteer & visitor weekends on the last weekend of every month (occasionally we have to move it if it clashes with something, watch this space for updates), please drop in one of these occasions or get in touch via the website if you are interested. There is now a Garden Bulletin Board for Volunteers for updates, questions and discussion.

This year there is a theme to each open weekend and a free (donations accepted!) workshop or activity. Suitable for all ages, children must be accompanied.

Guided tours and visits for the public
Volunteers required over the summer - please get in touch
