PLANTING UP: Fortnightly Volunteer Garden Work Party
Garden Work Party with “Bring & Share” Lunch at Westbury Arts Centre
No matter what your experience or ability, everyone is welcome to join our garden work parties and participate in whatever way you feel comfortable taking part.
We believe in applying the permaculture design principles, so our volunteer garden work parties (also known as: “permablitzes“) see us all mucking in and working together, sharing what we can.
The idea is that we just do what we can, as we share skills, enthusiasm, ideas and food to maintain our permaculture-led community Forest Garden together.
We meet at Westbury Arts Centre around 10.30am and work in the garden until around 12.30pm before we break for a social “Bring & Share” picnic-style lunch together. Lunch goes on as long as we like, then depending on how we feel, we sometimes go back to working in the garden before we close up at 4pm.
What you need to bring:
- Please wear old clothes and suitable footwear appropriate for the season. (Remember sunscreen and a hat for sunny days too.)
- We advise you to bring your own gardening gloves and basic gardening tools – especially a trowel and some secateurs/ pruners.
- Please bring food and drink for you and/or something to share among the group for our “Bring & Share” lunch. (Having a refillable bottle is always a good idea too)
