What you'll need

You'll need to bring:

  • long trousers to protect your legs from any brambles, nettles and ticks
  • sturdy shoes 
  • suitable clothing for the weather
  • a packed lunch and plenty of water

We provide all training, tools, and PPE, so no experience necessary.

We also provide gardening gloves to each volunteer but bring your own gloves if you have them.
