Local volunteer gardening opportunity:

Erinn Turnbull and Norman Newbery manage the rain garden at Church of St John the Evangelist, "The Rock on Locke" at Locke/Charlton and  have a great volunteer team that is a mix of church and community members.

If you would like to join the mailing list to hear about upcoming optional volunteer opportunities at the garden, drop us an email at stjohnraingarden@gmail.com  - it’s a nice way to do a bit of volunteering in the community

There is a standard monthly optional volunteer evening June-Sept on the 2nd Wed each month (3rd Wed is the rain date), when we enjoy a bit of chatting while doing some low-pressure light gardening (planting and weeding).

There are also periodic optional one-off gatherings to do a particular job in the garden or for community events to showcase the garden (eg. we usually participate in Green Venture’s Stormwater Management week one evening in August). We also gather in early winter to winter-sow some seeds for new plants for the garden.

We are always happy to welcome new volunteers from the church or community. All volunteer sessions are optional, just come when you are able/available.
