Volunteer with us

Volunteer Workdays

Olden Garden is open to the public. Workdays are open to everyone, not just Garden members. New volunteers are welcome. Gardening experience is not necessary.

Come and volunteer on Tuesdays any time between 10am – 4pm

Or come to a Saturday Workday – on the third Saturday of the month. The next Saturday Workday is 19 June, any time between 10am – 4pm.

You will need to bring your own gloves, face covering and hand sanitiser, and a towel if you wish to wash your hands. Remember to wear appropriate footwear.

You will also need to bring your own food and drink – we are not currently providing refreshments and use of the Garden House will be for our paid Gardeners only. Our accessible toilet will be open.

We have laid new turf on a damaged section of the lawn, leaving an area for new planting and a space for new paving to be laid in the autumn.

Olden Garden brings musical comedy to the Chelsea Fringe

Posted on by

In celebration of the Chelsea Fringe 2021, we filmed two special musical events in Olden Garden. ‘Air on a G-string’ is a musical comedy, with a rap celebrating the Chelsea Fringe, played by Kate Shortt on her cello in our garden and greenhouse and in front of the graffiti. ‘The Swan’ is a beautiful cello solo from ‘Carnival of the Animals’ and also played by Kate Shortt. These online events continue our tradition of marking the Chelsea Fringe with a musical celebration.
