Gardeners

Who can resist the chance to help restore a 'lost' 15th century walled garden here in Edinburgh? Or to get fit without paying gym costs? We are keen to recruit volunteers for a wide variety of gardening tasks. You don't have to have specific gardening skills – enthusiasm counts. A wide variety of activities are involved in the restoration project – digging, clearing, weeding, planting, general repair and maintenance of sheds, greeting, helping with planning, harvesting seasonal produce being some of them.

Experience required

Energy and enthusiasm. The volunteering is suitable for all fitness levels and adaptable to individuals.

Travel details

The garden is located next door to the Social Bite Village on West Shore Road, EH5 1QB
