Down to Earth STROUD Volunteering Opportunity Kingscourt |
Kingscourt Stroud |
Tuesdays 9.30am to 12.30pm Starting 13th April |
Down to Earth has a brand new Community Growing Scheme in Kingscourt, Stroud.
The land is currently covered with bramble and buddleia, so we aim to clear it over the next few months.
It's approx 30m x 100m and will be developed organically along permaculture lines to grow a range
of fruit and vegetables for volunteers to share. We will also create areas especially for wildlife and build a pond. It doesn't matter what level of skills you have, we would love to show you round if you're interested in being part of our volunteer team. You will be able to meet new people, learn new skills, watch things grow, sow seeds, plant and harvest, exercise in the fresh air and share stories over a cup of tea. Most of the land isn't flat so please let us know if you have any physical conditions. Some parking is available and there are toilets and a shelter on site. All you need to bring is some gloves, sturdy footwear and a smile (too corny? - no, perfect!). We will provide drinks and tools/equipment. If anyone has any tools they would like to donate, we'd be very grateful. We also need garden chairs, tables, an umbrella (!!) and probably lots of things we haven't even thought about yet! Get in touch if you want to know anything else. |
