Community Gardening / Food Growing Volunteers

For Littlehampton Community Growers

We are looking for volunteers to help with three community projects at Worthing Road Allotments in Littlehampton (a community orchard, three raised beds with a variety of vegetables and a larger plot with three mature fruit trees and other vegetables).

The activities include watering, preparing the soil, planting, weeding, pruning etc.

We provide all the tools and materials free of charge.

We are looking for enthusiastic outdoor lovers to join our group and help to care for our community orchard and cultivate our community plots.

We need extra help to make this project a success, and your help would be really appreciated.

We have regular volunteer sessions on Saturdays between 10am and 12 noon at Worthing Road Allotments in Littlehampton and other projects upcoming, such as the maintenance and implementation of a wildflower meadow at Maltravers Community Orchard in Littlehampton.

If you enjoy gardening, being outdoors and making a difference to your community, please come along!
