Full Description:
WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of volunteers who have transformed a neglected and littered bramble patch into a peaceful and much loved community garden, for everyone of all ages.
WHAT DO WE DO?
Our regular winter meeting time is 2pm on Wednesday afternoon, however the session may be cancelled if the weather is bad or if none of the gardeners are available. We will usually post on our facebook page about what we will be doing at the next session or if the session is cancelled. Occasionally we will have extra sessions or may decide to do other activities in the community but information may be at short notice.
HOW CAN YOU HELP US?
* Everybody is welcome at our gardening sessions whether you have gardened before or not but please note that children and vulnerable adults should be accompanied. If you have gardening tools such as trowels, hand forks, garden forks/spades, rakes or secateurs please bring them with you. We do have spare equipment but it is limited.
* We are very happy to accommodate any businesses that would like to offer volunteering opportunities to staff but please note this may be seasonal.
* Donations of plants, seeds or bulbs and other things that may help us to create and maintain the garden are always lovely. If we cannot use them at Harpers Lane we may use them at one of our other local projects or we may pass them to another community group. Plants do not have to be wildflowers but we would like them to be bee and butterfly friendly. Please no monbretia aka crocosmia x crocosmiflora as it is an offence to plant or otherwise allow this species to grow in the wild.
