Join us every Friday from 11am–1pm for our volunteering sessions. If this is your first visit - please arrive at the start of the session for an introduction to the space.

In 2025, we will host an open garden every Second Saturday of the month from 11am - 3pm find out more details in the event overview on our calendar.

No sign-up is required - just show up! However, if you're bringing a large group, please contact us in advance so we can accommodate everyone.

We collectively grow and learn to care for vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers and the garden space. During different seasons activities may include cooking, harvesting, preserving or crafting.

You’re also welcome to just browse our library, make a cup of herbal tea and rest in the garden.

Anyone! Bring your children and invite your elders to join us.

If you have volunteered your time, you may take home whatever is available - we only ask you take what you’ll use.

Also we love when you share recipes with us from your harvests! (Just saying.. :))

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (long sleeves, trousers, waterproof jacket, comfy boots).

Bring a ziplock bag or tupperwear to carry the harvest home.

Tools and gloves are provided.

The garden has woodchipped paths and a slope which may pose challenges. Contact us to discuss how we can support you to visit. An indoor, wheelchair-accessible toilet is available.

We have indoor storage available for bags and jackets.
