Overview

What we will be doing: We’ll clear out weeds and old vegetables (great for the chickens) from the veg beds in front of the Students’ Union.

The session will also include digging in compost, transplanting kale plugs and sowing winter salad and broad beans.

How it will work:

Simply drop us an email the day before to sign up to the session. Currently, we can only accept 5 volunteers, and we need to receive a confirmation that you will attend the session, so we can control the number of people joining in.
