What you will be doing

We launched a weekly gardening club in 2022 where we can come together to create a new community space while also learning essential horticultural skills that you can use as work experience or apply to your own garden!

Join us to learn, contribute to your community, have fun and meet people and create a thriving lush oasis.

Our club meetings start again in June 2023 every Tuesday afternoon until 3pm.

You will need to have clothing suitable for the weather, including sunscreen as necessary. You should wear long-sleeved garments and stout-soled closed-toe footwear. We will provide the correct equipment to enable the work to be completed safely.

We recommend all clubbers bring their own gardening gloves (washing up gloves will do!).

We meet at the Welsh Chapel, Lind Road, Sutton, SM1 4PJ
