STAA Saturday Volunteering @ Heritage Display Garden

This session is for volunteers both familiar with STAA and those who are completely new. Come along to help us regularly, just this once, or to try something out! *

It's an exciting time at the Heritage Display Garden, as we will be making some exciting improvements to the planting and infrastructure to enhace the area for access and interest.

This session will help with a mix of tasks - including some of the bigger clearance and improvements areas. This may include clearing overgrowth, digging, and planting, as well as tidying our shelters and building benches. We will decide on the exact tasks nearer the day, but with so much going on though, there will definitely be something for everyone!

Suitable for all skills and abilities: the session is practical but with a wide range of tasks suitable for all. You will be given all tools and information you need (though feel free to bring your own gloves if you like).

Meet at Ransom Road entrance for 10am.

Any questions, please email us at [email protected]

* We provide inductions for volunteers to attend to learn all about STAA and our volunteering programme - if you like the session, and hope to return, we will ask you attend an induction within roughly the first 3 sessions.

SESSION DETAILS

Activities include practical gardening and conservation outdoors.

Refreshments: Please bring your own food and drink for the session- there will be a break about lunchtime. We will provide hot drinks from the infamous storm kettle!

Amenities: A compost toilet is available with hand sanitiser for hand washing.

Terrain and weather: There are some hills and uneven surfaces, so please wear suitable shoes and dress for the weather. If it has been raining, some paths may be muddy. We will mostly be working outdoors.

Parking, directions, access: Before the event, you'll receive an email with details of how to find the starting point and where to park. Please note the session takes place within a locked site, so please arrive on time as it can be tricky to collect latecomers.
