Who we are:

Sow the City is a Manchester based social enterprise on a mission to create greener cities and connect people with nature. Sow the City are delivering the Postcode Gardener project for friends of the Earth across Wythenshawe!

As the Postcode Gardener our role is to guide, organise, and support the community to work together to help greenery and wildlife flourish. 

What are we looking for?

We would love to hear from you if you live in or around Wythenshawe and you are passionate about improving green spaces for people and for wildlife! We are working in locations all across Wythenshawe - parks, children's centres, community gardens, community centres, schools and woodlands. Volunteer with us and get stuck into hands on greening tasks, learn more about horticulture and native wildlife and get involved in your local community.

What would you be doing as a volunteer?

We are working with local volunteers on a menu of greening interventions including: planting wildflowers and edible plants, building and maintaining street planters, planting wildflower areas, creating habitat, facilitating the return of nature back into neglected public spaces.

This opportunity is flexible, and we will let you know about sessions as and when they come up around Wythenshawe - you are not required to attend every volunteer session. Send us an email to find out more, and hear about what we have coming up ciaran@sowthecity.org.
