Soup-er Saturday - come and try volunteering

Are you ready to dig deep, get your hands dirty, and feel great? Join us for a day of fun, laughter, and a little bit of dirt as we invite you to our come and try volunteering day at the garden!

Roll up your sleeves and help our garden flourish. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or unsure which end of the shovel goes up, we welcome everyone with open arms. Gardening is a joyful activity, and we want to share with you all of our collective knowledge in return for a little bit of your time. Your efforts will literally help plants grow.

We promise not to judge your gardening skills, as long as your enthusiastic we can find a job for you to do. Make new friends who share your passion for the environment, plants, plus catch the occasional black cockatoo sighting. You’ll earn a bowl of our delicious garden soup. We'll sit down together, chat and share garden tales over lunch.

What to bring A sense of humour and a can-do attitude comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little... earthy. A water bottle to stay hydrated. You’ll leave with a full belly and a heart full of joy (and maybe a bit of dirt under your nails). So bring your friends, and let’s make this garden grow—one plant and soup bowl at a time!

Let us know you’re coming so we can prepare enough soup to feed an army (or at least a hungry group of volunteers). We're at the corner of Grieve and Derby Street, park outside the garden gates. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
