Volunteer and Open Days
Olden Community Garden is open to the public. Volunteer days are open to everyone, not just Garden members. New volunteers are welcome. Gardening experience is not necessary. Join us for coffee and cake/biscuits, make new friends and learn more about the Garden. Or just walk in our woodland and relax on the patio. Families welcome. Just drop in.
Come and volunteer on Tuesdays any time between 10am – 4pm. Our gardener Ruby will offer a variety of tasks.
Or come to a Saturday volunteer day – on the third Saturday of the month when our gardener Caroline will guide you.
Remember to wear appropriate footwear.
Our accessible toilet will be open.

Linklaters volunteers varnishing our benches

Volunteers from Linklaters stripped and varnished our benches and helped create a new woodland path. Thank you to the BIG Alliance for arranging the session.
Our new woodland table

Following completion of our Woodland Biodiversity Planting project, we installed a new woodland table with a view of the newly planted areas.
Woodland Biodiversity Planting

Over 50 volunteers helped to deliver our project funded by a grant from Islington Giving’s Make It Happen Fund. We prepared the ground, clearing away ivy, cutting logs from fallen tree trunks, digging in lots of new compost, spreading donated woodchip. We planted over 200 new shrubs, herbaceous perennials and ground cover in the area around the woodland table.
