volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to make new friends, gain new skills and be part of the growing community at one of our gardens (or all of them!).

join the diggers!

We welcome new volunteers each week to our sites in Fallowfield, Whalley Range and Beswick, the more the merrier!

Each day we get up to a range of activities around growing food, planting trees, plants and flowers and general landscaping tasks to beautify the area. Have a look at the reels below to get more of an idea!

You can also help us with tasks such as admin, marketing, finance, fundraising, volunteer coordination. Although we have a team of hard working paid staff there is always too much for us to do. If you can commit regularly to helping us with the business side of things then please get in touch.
