Join us to help get the Market Garden into shape for the upcoming season.
Who is This For?
You don’t need any specific knowledge or skills to volunteer in the Market Garden. You do need some energy and to be fairly steady on your feet. Market Garden volunteering sessions can involve quite a bit of walking and physical activity. The tasks are usually ‘big jobs’ where many hands make light work (eg. kneeling or bending to weed, wheelbarrowing woodchip for paths, planting a big area with transplants).
If you’re worried about your body’s stamina or mobility, you might prefer to start with the Community Garden drop-in sessions instead.
But we don’t ask anyone to go beyond their limits for any task, and you can always take breaks or rotate between jobs. You are welcome to use this as a way to help you build up your fitness. And we always finish with a cup of tea and a sit down!
If you're not sure and want more information, please email info@lauristonfarm.org with any questions.
