Team Volunteer Gardening Days
London, UK
From community gardens and urban orchards, to overgrown playgrounds and overlooked churchyards – we have a long list of green spaces that need your support. Some urgently so. Our Gardening Team Leaders take groups of up to 50 persons from your organisation to these community green spaces around London for a volunteer gardening day. It’s a very hands-on day in which teams can make a lot of difference. These days provide a great team-building opportunity with lots of fun and laughs, while making a community green space more beautiful and welcoming. Our volunteers, we call them ‘Green Heroes’, give these spaces a much-needed injection of gardening, energy, and plants. Our ‘Green Heroes’ package is aimed at supporting parts of London with little high-quality public green space, providing sustainability and social benefits to the residents of the areas we help. We believe quality public green space should belong in every community and neighbourhood - and in creating such spaces, we support and make beautiful the green lungs of London.
