How to Volunteer

What do our volunteers do?

Some plant, weed and water; some build boxes to plant vegetables in, others work on getting donations. Some design products that can be sold to support the community gardens. Other volunteers look after our compost and surrounding areas, keeping it free from litter.

What are the volunteer’s biggest responsibilities?

Their own safety and security.

How?
– Create safe and secure family friendly environments. 
– Clear pathways and communal areas from all obstacles and litter.
– Learn from each other and share your skills.
– Look after the garden tools, material and equipment.
– Look after the plants and compost.
– Look after yourself (drink water, wear protective gear like garden gloves and closed toe shoes).
– Collaborate with each other. Connect the community.
– Remember, volunteers participate at their own risk, so it’s in your best interest to look after yourself, and the garden areas.

Communicate with each other. Share great ideas.
