Hope Garden Work Weekend Saturday 20th June 2026

(Lunch in the Hub & refreshments provided for all volunteers.)

We have all been enjoying the wonderful, home grown organic vegetables from the Hope Community Garden this spring. After the electro culture workshop the garden is thriving (although there are sometimes competitors for the seeds that are planted from some furry friends!) Now in it’s fourth season, the Hope Community Garden was started from scratch three years ago by parents and the wider Hope Community putting in hundreds of hours of volunteer garden time. To keep the organic veggies growing there is now a hardworking, dedicated but stretched garden volunteer team who dedicate time, energy and love as they work towards our shared mission of food sovereignty and withdrawing support from big supermarkets.

Hope Garden Work Weekends – Next one – Saturday 20th June 2026

The dreams of expanding what we already produce and grow can only be met with more volunteers – more time. more energy and more love from all of us. The garden is a beautiful place to learn skills, connect with others and contribute to our thriving garden. Be part of the solution, contribute to food sovereignty and pick up tricks and tips to take away to your own green space. Make friends that last a lifetime and weather all storms.

🌿Giving back gives us a lovely feeling inside and can boost our energy, sense of purpose and wellbeing, adding meaning to our lives.

🌿Gardening and connecting to nature have been widely acknowledged as powerful healing, therapeutic tools in their own right.

🌿As we connect with mother earth and organic soil our gut biome can heal and we are naturally grounded.

🌿We become at one with the rhythms of nature, the seasons and the weather.

🌿Boost Vitamin D and produce serotonin, maybe even sleep better too.

🌿Time offline and in real life – the very thing the elite would rather you not do, gardening is an act of rebellion – choose nature over tech!

🌿Gardening as a group means we share the workload, share skills and connect together, co-regulating reduces stress and increases wellbeing.

If you feel you can offer some time, energy and love to the Hope Garden reach out via email [email protected]

There are people in most Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays so if you have kids at Hope why not volunteer for an hour each week while your kids learn? If you work why not come along to one of our Garden Work Weekends, next one is on Saturday 20th June.

Look forward to seeing you in the garden!
