Volunteer and Open Days
Olden Garden is open to the public. Volunteer days are open to everyone, not just Garden members. New volunteers are welcome. Gardening experience is not necessary. Join us for coffee and cake/biscuits, make new friends and learn more about the Garden. Or just walk in our woodland and relax on the patio. Families welcome. Just drop in.
Come and volunteer on Tuesdays any time between 10am – 4pm. Maria, our gardener, will offer a variety of tasks.
Or come to a Saturday volunteer day – on the third Saturday of the month when our gardener Caroline will guide you.
Remember to wear appropriate footwear.
Our accessible toilet will be open.
If you would like further information about volunteering please email oldengarden1@gmail.com
