About this Event
☀️ Join our weekly Sunday community gardening afternoons at The Plot in Downham! 🥦
🗓 Every Sunday | 🕐 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Entrance next to 1 Southview Road, BR1 5RD
🌱 Our volunteer sessions are an opportunity to get your hands in the soil, connect with nature, and build community and growing skills throughout our neighbourhoods. We’re all about sharing tips, asking questions, sparking ideas and making them happen together!
👩🌾 Whether you’re new to growing or have skills to share, there’s plenty to get involved with, and you can stay as little or as long as you like.
🍅 Volunteers help grow food that’s shared among the group and distributed to local food banks. It’s a chance to learn practical skills, meet others in the community, and contribute to a more resilient local food system.
🛠️ We provide snacks, tools, and guidance — just come dressed for the weather, and expect to get a little muddy!
