Wow! We are truly grateful for the time and effort our volunteers are contributing to the garden. March is slightly skewed because we’ve been working almost every day erecting the new polytunnel and it’s nearly ready. There has been significant progress made tidying up, planting seeds, potting on and planting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A volunteer said “I leave here feeling better than I arrived” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most volunteers treat volunteering as another ‘job’ and feel they must work hard and commit to every week. We are fortunate to have this natural space for volunteers to enjoy and it\u2019s not all about \u2018sweat on your brow\u2019, it\u2019s about enjoying your time outside, away from technology, building a community and not feeling you \u2018must\u2019 do anything. It’s also about making it fit your schedule, and that obviously means you will miss sessions to do other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our aim at The Sanctuary Garden is that all volunteers leave feeling better than when they arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on Monday and Thursday 10-1pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
