Community Volunteer Gardener

Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre
VO72011

The aim of this project is to bring people together of all ages to grow and share the harvest from our community garden. Crops harvested from the garden will be used to create simple healthy meals or snacks, and feed the community. Tasks involved are basic gardening tasks (no prior knowledge needed), planting seeds, potting up, weeding, watering and harvesting of the crops. For the more experienced gardeners propagation and pruning techniques will be taught, and effort will be made to upskill as you need.

Experience required

No prior gardening knowledge is needed. A willingness to learn and join in with the team is all that is required. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult.
