Ways to support the garden

We run regular gardening sessions from Spring through the Autumn, and everyone is welcome there whether you're an expert horticulturalist or completely new to the world of plants. See the What's On page for details. 

We also need volunteers to help support the garden in other ways:

  • running events in the garden
  • local keyholders to open up the garden in the morning and lock the gates in the evening
  • garden maintenance and construction
  • managing our IT
  • promoting use of the space for community, educational and corporate events
  • and help with lots of other one-off jobs.

If you're interested in helping, either regularly or just occasionally, please get in touch or drop in when the garden is open to speak to our volunteers about joining us. Everyone is welcome.

Most of what keeps Nightingale Garden up and running is the time and energy of volunteers, but we do have some financial costs. A significant part of our annual expenses comes from insurance for the garden, as well as occasional costs for equipment and for plants.

If you would be interested in making a donation to the garden, please contact us.
