Then Friday Garden Club is for you!
Gardening experience not essential.
Every Friday, Garden Club meets to tend the Triangle Community Garden, its Forest Garden and its allotments, guided by Steve Granger, our incredibly knowledgeable and ever-patient Garden Club leader. This work is vital to underpin the Triangle Garden's key projects: Growing Ability and New Shoots - which provide social therapeutic horticulture for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues. The work Garden Club does in keeping our sites thriving, and maintaining a balance between biodiversity, accessibility and natural beauty, allows our key projects to focus on the horticultural therapy that is so beneficial to our participants. And our Friday volunteers find that Garden Club provides its own therapy.
Garden Club runs from 10am-12.15 every Friday finishing off with a tea/coffee break at around noon. Connect, grow, enjoy!
