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. Join us for coffee and biscuits, make new friends and learn more about the Garden.
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 Workdays are 16 October – Bulb Planting Day! – and 20 November, any time between 10am – 4pm.
Remember to wear appropriate footwear.
Our accessible toilet will be open.

Our Gardener Laura leaves us this month
Our part-time gardener, Laura, has guided the development of Olden Garden during the last 10 years. At a small gathering last week, over a socially distanced cup of coffee and home-made cake, we thanked Laura for her involvement and commitment to the Garden. Laura plans to focus on her garden design business. We are sorry to see her go.
At our Workday on Saturday volunteers pruned climbers and created a hedge
We pruned clematis, wisteria and jasmine. We stemmed the tide of the three-cornered leek and created a cornus hedge from saplings donated by the Woodland Trust via the Mayor’s initiative. And we gave the Garden House a spring clean!
