Woodlands Community Garden

101 West Princes Street, G4 9BY

About the Garden

Woodlands Community Garden opened in 2010, occupying a vacant site in West Princes Street. Since then it has become an important local space where people make new friends and feel part of the community. It’s also a great place to unwind from the everyday stresses and strains of city life. Each year, around 50 households grow their own fruit, vegetables and herbs in the garden’s raised beds. The garden is also the focus of many projects that we run with local partners.

Community Garden Weekly Garden Volunteer Sessions

Throughout the year we organise garden volunteering opportunities. These offer

  • the chance to get to know other local people who care about the local environment

  • opportunities to take part in the seasonal activities of the garden.

Our weekly Garden Volunteer Sessions are open to local people who want to help us in keeping the garden as a special place for both people and nature. Garden Volunteering opportunities are suitable for adults rather than children. No previous gardening experience necessary, all gloves and tools provided. Tasks change with the seasons and can include tidying, weeding, pruning and watering. Instructions will be given.

If you are interested in volunteering with us please complete the form via the link below to register your expression of interest and we will be in touch soon with further information.
