events
We run regular family friendly, educational forest gardening sessions on Sunday afternoons from 12.30 to 4pm
Our Wednesday evening volunteering and social evening programme will commence in mid April
If you are able to give an hour or two on an occasional or regular basis please message us on 07738 240 619 or contact us via our Facebook page.
We also have a WhatsApp group for volunteers which you can join by sending your name and a request to join the group to 07 738 240 619.
Sunday sessions are a great way to learn new gardening skills from our expert team, whilst helping to maintain Bedford Fields – we will be pruning for both growth and fruiting, weeding, mulching, dividing perennials, restoring paths and borders and planning some new planting areas… plus we will be giving our indoor work and relaxation spaces a bit of a spruce up, so there will be a chance to get involved in woodwork and green roof installation too
Gloves and tools are provided.
Please dress to the weather and bring appropriate footwear. Learning isn’t compulsory though, maybe just turn up and work off some excess energy, or simply enjoy a beautiful space.
Covid Protocol
Please do not come along to sessions if you have symptoms / have tested positive. We will continue to have sanitiser available.
