For those who've not heard of us before, Lush Greens is a non-profit community market garden in Hengrove, South Bristol. Our staff and volunteers collaborate to grow an abundance of beautiful, delicious vegetables and fruit based on organic principles for Food Banks, Food Clubs, other community projects and members of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme. We host volunteer days from Wednesday to Friday, and on the 1st Saturday of every month.
Donations
If you can bring any locally sourced apples for us to use to make apple juice on the day we would be very grateful as our apple harvest this year has been poor because of two years of consecutive droughts.
The event is free for all.
However, donations via the donation ticket option or on the day are of course welcome. All money will go back into the project to help grow vegetables and fruit for the different Food Banks and charities we support.
You can also contribute a one-off or regular donation on our giving platform: https://ko-fi.com/lushgreensbristol
Accessibility
Unfortunately the farm is not currently wheelchair friendly, it is uneven under foot in places, and can become slippery depending on the weather.
There is a compost toilet access by a few steps with a rail.
