The garden is situated in the old neglected church orchard and was created in 2016 by a small group of volunteers under the auspices of the Parish Church. We have tried to create a peaceful and enjoyable place for the community to enjoy, with items of interest for all ages. The volunteer would always be working with the rest of the team with ongoing support at all times. Jobs would include basic DIY, garden maintenance, composting, planting, weeding, assisting with fundraising and planning new projects. No official training given but there will be ongoing opportunities to learn more about gardening generally. We normally work on Monday and Wednesday mornings but other times may be available. Good basic DIY skills would be an advantage and as we work as a team and regularly welcome visitors good communication skills are important.
