Come volunteer with us
Get your team out of the office and get hands into the soil while having some fun with an afternoon in one of our GLAS community gardens. Our gardens are a very open, accepting and welcoming place, and volunteers with no experience are as welcome as those with green fingers. Everyone is invited to work at their own pace and to enjoy their surroundings in whatever way feels good to them on the day.

Our community gardens
Our community gardens are unique: They are havens for people and plants alike.
- Our GLAS community gardens are centres of social inclusion – bringing people of all ages and abilities together, providing a sense of belonging and of wellbeing in the community.
- And our GLAS gardens are centres of environmental education – offering people a chance to learn about organic horticulture and gardening for biodiversity.
