Community Gardener Volunteer

What You'll Do: 

Location: Greener and Cleaner Community Garden, Southlands Road Allotments, Baths Road, Bromley BR1 2BS

 

We’ve started a community garden to help others learn and practice skills for biodiversity, growing their own produce, and a place for connection. Your role is central to the upkeep of our wonderful garden space.

 

Greener and Cleaner is looking for volunteer Community Gardeners to help maintain our community allotment. We are especially interested in anyone with skills in:

  • General gardening (including physical work such as digging, lifting, carrying things).
  • Growing and nurturing plants, trees, and flowers.
Why You'll Love It: 

Despite being based in the garden, you’ll be part of our pilot project which, if successful, will see versions of The Hub rolled out across the UK, providing a blueprint for others to be shared and upscaled.

 

This is about engagement and encouragement: about trying and learning. We want to make people feel that whatever they can do helps. By learning new skills such as gardening to grow their own produce, this is all part of the small everyday changes they can make to help fight climate change.

What You'll Learn: 

Knowledge about growing fruits and vegetables in an eco-friendly way.

What We're Looking For: 

Someone who is a team player, with a passion for the outdoors who has skills in:

  • General gardening (including physical work such as digging, lifting, and carrying things).
  • Growing and nurturing plants, trees, and flowers.
  • Comfortable working in a customer-facing role in a diverse community.

We’re mostly all part-time and/or volunteers relying on, and supporting each other, in our various roles. We’re a very friendly bunch and warmly welcome new people on the team.
