Garden Volunteers Wanted!
Are you interested in gardening and want to make a difference in your community? Join our garden community and make an impact!
*About us
Springhill Community Garden is for the community, by the community. A place where people come together to grow food, support local wildlife, and create a beautiful shared environment.
*Who we are looking for
We’re looking for people who are passionate about gardening and want to make a difference in their local community. No experience is required - just enthusiasm! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner looking to learn, there is a place for you here. If you want to ‘adopt’ your own personal raised bed, that’s an option too!
*What’s in it for you
• Learn about growing your own food and learn new gardening skills!
• Make new friends and be part of a supportive community!
• Spend time outdoors and enjoy the benefits of working in nature!
• Participate in workshops, social events, and educational opportunities!
*How to get there
Springhill Community Garden is easily accessible, located behind Sheddocksley Sports Centre on Springhill Road. We are especially keen to hear from people living in the local areas of Mastrick, Sheddocksley, Northfield, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
*How to get involved
If you’re interested in gardening but haven’t got your own green space or you’ve been a bit unsure about how to start – this opportunity is for you!
To join our friendly team of gardeners, please contact Pamela McEwan at email: springhillcommunity@gardener.com or call 07842 261037.
We'd love to hear from you!
