Volunteers
Our garden volunteers meet come on Thursdays starting about 9 am. Other groups work on the educational material and on Open Days.
The volunteers are a great group with a broad range of skills - office, welding, cooking, building, landscaping, mechanics - You name it and we have it! See some of their activities.
Some volunteers with specific skills come monthly and others come when they are able.
