volunteer days

Gardening and growing food is even more joyful when it's shared, and we want to help to lift our whole community into resilience and food security, through education, skill sharing and collaboration.

The gardens and land here are based on permaculture principles and organic, regenerative growing. We’ll be learning together and exploring different practices to develop soil health, abundant annual and perennial food crops, and create biodiverse edible landscapes. From spring 2027 we’ll be running an exciting new programme of workshops and seasonal events - watch this space for more info on this.

Would you like to join us? Our regular volunteer sessions are currently every Saturday, from 10am–1pm. Families very welcome.

Our apologies to our 4 legged friends but the cats, geese and ducks have requested that you stay at home unless needed for assistance.

Please get in touch with us to join our volunteer group before coming. We look forward to growing together!

residential volunteers and interns

We sometimes also have space for short and long term residential volunteers, and especially love having people stay with us who have a genuine interest in land based living, permaculture, regenerative growing or homesteading. We can offer room and board and sharing our skills through informal training in exchange for 5 hours help per day.

Each spring we run a youth internship program and have space for two interns to join us for a period of 3 weeks. This is open to young people aged 14 and above.

If you’re interested in any of the above, please get in touch with us to check our availability for the coming year.
