The Work | You can work at your own pace – there is something for everyone here, from simply learning how to identify plants or tackling the bigger weeds to sitting in a patch of seedlings and plucking them out.
What to wear | sturdy shoes, long clothes, weather protection.
What to bring | gardening gloves and hand tools if you have them (or you can borrow them from our kit), bring your own allergy medication (we have a basic first aid kit), water to stay hydrated and a snack to keep you energised.
