Why volunteer? When you come and volunteer at Babbinswood Community Garden so many experiences and benefits can open up for you: These benefits include: Fresh Food – Many studies have shown the shorter the distance between harvest and table, the better the food is for you. If you cannot grow food in your home, our community garden which is totally organic will allow you to help grow healthy fruits and vegetables for yourself and others at Babbinswood.

When in season a small veg box to take home from the garden is our thank-you for your volunteering with us and of course free hot or cold drinks and biscuits are always available. Friendships – Gardeners, by nature, are a giving group. When gardening happens, it places a number people of with a common interest in a small area. Friendships and deep bonds are bound to happen. Teaches you valuable skills – from growing food from seed, learning about increasing soil health, and overall care for the garden. Along with increasing the wildlife through developing our new perennial food forest, you will have a wealth of information, knowledge that will help build on your already valuable skill set. Our volunteer days are currently on pause - but please get in touch if you would like to know when they start up again!
