Weekly Community Garden Volunteer Sessions (Drop-In)

When: Every Friday, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM (Drop-in basis) About: Step into our beautiful, thriving community permaculture garden for a day of connection, learning, and growth! Our weekly drop-in sessions are the heart of our green space, where volunteers come together to cultivate not just plants, but a vibrant community. This is your chance to get your hands in the soil, meet like-minded people, and learn practical, hands-on skills. What might you do on a Friday? You could be planting seeds in our 6 raised beds, nurturing seedlings in the greenhouse or polytunnel, learning to maintain our hazel coppice, tending to our fruit trees, or turning our compost system. Explore Edinburgh’s first Seed Library and join our special Seedy Social Seed Library sessions to swap, share, and learn about seed saving. Beyond growing, sessions can involve garden planning, creative nature crafting, food preserving workshops, or community DIY projects. Every task is a chance to learn and contribute. This is a truly collaborative space; we collectively decide what we grow, and volunteer input directly shapes our activities. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or have never held a trowel, you are welcome to join for an hour or the whole day to enjoy the peace of the garden and give back to the community. Community Lunch Every week, we join the community lunch from 1 – 2pm.
