If you’d like to join our wonderful team please contact us

Our main planting sessions are in July/August but there’s various kinds of preparation to do year round  (eg weeding, mulching, birdwatching, plant identification).

For planting – bring sturdy boots and trousers.  Dress in layers as Canberra weather can be chilly in the morning but bright and sunny by midday.  The grass may be wet.  Gloves are a good idea if you don’t want to get your hands dirty.  If you have equipment such as mattocks or garden trowels, that’s useful too.

 We’re planning to do half days with volunteers, from 9am until 2pm to allow for watering in the afternoon.  We will provide a morning snack, and delicious lunch within that time.
