School Garden Volunteering

Did you know that at Hollow Trees Farm, from Spring until October every year we host school visits at least three days a week. This year alone we have over 50 schools booked in to see us before the end of term in July.

We are looking to recruit a small team of locally based volunteers to help maintain our ‘School Garden’.

This is a small plot of land where we take each school to learn about and get very hands on experience with food, farming, harvesting, planting and all things nature. In the gardens we grow fruit, vegetables and have a newly established butterfly/bee garden and wild bird feeding station.

There are also a number of mixed planting areas on the Farm Trail that require maintenance too.

Tasks required would be weeding, watering, dead heading, planting and harvesting.

You don’t have to be highly skilled, just keen, flexible with hours and friendly.

In return we offer a friendly, happy environment to enjoy your volunteering in.

If you have some regular weekly time that you can offer us in our ‘School Gardens’ or want to know more about this volunteering opportunity, please contact Nicola on 01449 741247 or email hr@hollowtrees.co.uk
