Have a look at our Events page for details. You might also find yourself inspired to run your own event.

if you feel you have the time and commitment to take on a more demanding role the Garden Project always welcomes enquiries from people who might like to become a trustee. Get in touch here.

for a party, workshop, course, family gathering, celebration or away day. The Garden offers a unique private indoor and outdoor space with some special features such as a sand pit, tandoor oven, bonfire and barbeque area and wooden eco cabin which can seat forty people. See Booking the Garden page for costs and further information.

Become a Volunteer – the Garden is run by volunteers and people are needed to plan and help at events and do practical gardening and maintenance tasks. Our volunteers provide regular and one-off cover to ensure the Garden is open to everyone during weekends in the summer. Details of our one-off gardening volunteer days are given on the Events page.

We hold a number of volunteer days with organisations who want to give something back to the community. The Garden is also a great venue for work events, training days and away days.
