We need people to offer skills, time or resources to develop this project. Check what’s needed below, then click ‘Volunteer’ to get involved.

  • - berry plants bare root canes - please contact us for details
  • Networking - the more people hear about the project, the more chances there are to get volunteers and funding. So if you're good at spreading the word via internet or in person, let me know and I'll send you all the info that I have.
  • Muscle power & non specific talents - from measuring & doing the markings for the structure, to laying ornamental bark on the paths or simply pushing a wheelbarrow, there will be plenty of things to do under this umbrella.
  • Gardening skills a. when we build the maze - there will be various days, but it will be quite short and intense b. Maintenance - less intense (just watering, when & if necessary, training the plants & pruning once a year), but more committed.
  • Drawing/decorating - for the planters, benches & the childs design on the concrete slab.
  • Building skills - the concrete slab might need a bit of a repair and tools may be needed for various other odd jobs on or off site.
