Would YOU like to volunteer at Windmill Community Gardens?
Our morning sessions are mainly about gardening, and our Thursday afternoon sessions give you the added chance to learn and use woodworking skills to help renovate and upkeep our wonderful site. We have all the tools you'll need and session workers who can help you learn new skills or work out how the skills you already have can complement the site.
And if you have health issues that mean you can't do heavy work, don't worry! We have lots of jobs which don't need muscles, like sowing seeds, painting signs, even using an app to see which birds we have in the garden at the moment - these are all activities that make a real difference! We try to cater for all abilities, so we have adapted tools and different kneeling and seating options to help people with strength. flexibility and stability issues, as well as an accessible loo!
On Thursdays, we provide a lunch, cooked on site, which you can help to prepare if you are interested in cooking, and in the Summer, we also have yoga sessions from 11am, which you can do in a chair, lying or standing so they are great for all abilities.
If you can't manage to come during the week, we still have options for volunteering at weekend workshops and events, so let us know and we can link you up with our up-coming dates. And if you have the kinds of skills that we might use to run a workshop, please let us know too!
