All are welcome regardless of gardening abilities.

As we grow, so does our list of jobs to do! At the garden we have volunteers who share their gardening skills; others share their artistic talents; some have shared their woodworking skills; we have expert dead headers; some have given us their organisational and paperwork skills and some are just plain wonderful at brewing up much needed cups of tea!

We have tools you can use but if you would rather bring your own, that’s fine too. However, as we obviously want to avoid any cross contamination, we would ask you to clean your own tools before you bring them.

We want to prevent as many pests from entering the garden as possible and likewise to prevent any we may have here from getting to your garden too.

We are open three times a week and you can pick and mix which ever session or sessions suit you.

We have some volunteers who come twice a week, some who come once a week and some who come once a month. It is entirely up to you – the way we see it, the garden will be there waiting, along with all its jobs, for whenever it suits you.

Parking can be quite tricky. Sometimes you can find a space along School Lane and on a Sunday you can park in the school’s car park right next to the garden. There is parking at the Allendale Centre car park but this is a Pay and Display.

The garden is free to anyone. However, once you’ve been with us a few sessions, we will ask you to complete an information sheet so we can hold, securely, your contact details etc. and we will also run through an induction with you to explain our Health and Safety rules in the garden.
