SUBU Community Garden Volunteer - drop-in sessions on Talbot Campus

From 06 Feb 2025

SUBU has been blessed with a small patch of land on Talbot Campus which will be furnished with raised planters and a polytunnel so that students can grow food. SUBU is looking for Student and Staff Volunteers to join us for weekly drop-in gardening sessions to include planting, weeding, watering and harvesting. If you are staying for summer and would like to volunteer for just a few hours a week, this could be the volunteering opportunity for you.

We would love students and staff to come along and help to nurture this little haven on campus. Join us in the summer sunshine and fresh air.  

We currently hold sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.  The sessions are flexible - you don't have to sign up for every single one.  Just come along when ever you have the time.
