Volunteering

If you live in Murieston or a neighbouring area, we would love your help in the garden. Just come along to any of the following volunteer sessions. We have tools you can use but prepare to get muddy! Wear old clothes, wellingtons or strong boots or shoes, and bring gardening gloves if you can. Children are very welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Volunteers moving sleepers into garden (Sept 2021)
Volunteers planting hedge saplings (Dec 2021)
Volunteers planting a tree for the Queen (Sept 2022)

We normally meet 2-4pm on the 1st Saturday of each month, the Sunday two weeks later, and the Wednesdays after each of those. For a few months we add an extra Saturday at the end of the month. Dates organised so far for the remainder of 2024 are below but we might end up with more as there is so much happening this year. We also advertise dates on the noticeboard at the entrance to the garden.

Once you have been to your first volunteer session, you can join the Facebook group Murieston Community Garden Volunteers to meet other volunteers and discuss next steps for garden maintenance and sowing.
