Summary:
We're looking for volunteers to join our gardening team out in the NOMA gardens. If you're a keen gardener, beginner or just someone looking for outdoor volunteering that's good exercise and a way to socialise and meet new people then this could be the opportunity for you.
If you're not scared of the odd slug and willing to tackle some sticky weed then we'd love your help transforming our urban spaces into green havens for both people and nature. We prioritise community engagement, providing a safe pesticide free space for wildlife and sustainable gardening here at Plant so if that sounds like a bit of you then please respond to this ad via email to our volunteer coordinator Grace.
Our general volunteering runs every Tuesday and Thursday 10am to 5pm but you're welcome to stay for half a day if you prefer. There's no minimum commitment simply give what time you can. We'd love to teach you about gardening and growing in the city and involve more of the local community in this little green corner of Manchester. We look forward to hearing from Manchester's green-fingered folk. Please only over 18's for this one for safeguarding reasons.
