It's about much more than digging. It’s about growing food and getting outside.
It’s about building raised beds and creating community. It’s about planting seeds and making new friends. 
Ways to get involved:
• Find a garden to volunteer with on the day
• Promote the Big Dig to your friends and family to help support your local community gardens
• Attend the open day and have fun
