Volunteer Garden Sessions are back at Trinity for the summer, providing practical support for people wanting to learn more about gardening through practical experience of maintaining and upkeeping our beautiful green space. Not only will you have the opportunity to develop your gardening skills, but you'll also learn the art of growing organic produce, all in a friendly and welcoming environment.

During these sessions, you can expect a variety of tasks, including weeding, planting, watering, creating wildlife habitats, and carrying out basic orchard maintenance. While we work together to enhance the garden, we also encourage you to take a moment to unwind, sip on a cup of tea, and enjoy the serene environment in our Community Garden.

Our gardening sessions take place every two weeks on Wednesdays, running from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Led by Trinity's dedicated Garden Team, you'll be working alongside a friendly group of volunteers who share your passion for gardening and community engagement.

No prior gardening experience is necessary as we provide all the training you need. We'll supply the tools, equipment, and beverages, but feel free to bring your own lunch to enjoy during our midday break. Once you become a regular Trinity Volunteer, you'll also have the opportunity to claim back your lunch and travel expenses.

Please note that these sessions are open to individuals aged 18 and above.

If you're interested in taking part, simply reach out to our Garden Project Assistant, Fleur, by emailing her at fleur@trinitybristol.org.uk. Alternatively, you can contact the Trinity Office at 0117 935 1200.

Fleur will be more than happy to chat with you, discuss your interests and needs, and invite you to a taster session to see if our gardening sessions align with your expectations.

At Trinity, we strive to accommodate everyone's individual needs, so please don't hesitate to get in touch in you have additional access requirements.
