Many thanks for your interest in volunteering at the Dalston Curve Garden. There are a number of ways you can get involved with volunteering here.
Gardening in 2022
Our new season for weekly gardening sessions for volunteers take place every Saturday afternoon, 2-5pm starting in late Winter/early Spring. We are unable to accept any new gardening volunteers until that time but are happy to place new applications on to our waiting list for when the new season begins.
Our gardening volunteering sessions are an opportunity to look after Dalston Curve Garden, enjoy being outside, meet a group of other volunteers and learn all about plants and gardening. You don’t need to have previous gardening experience, but we do ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of two gardening sessions per month. This means you get to learn about gardening and enjoy all the benefits of volunteering at the Curve Garden and we build a strong, knowledgeable team.
Building Projects in 2022
We are however urgently seeking volunteers, to start in January, who are skilled in carpentry and building work and who are available on weekdays to help with an exciting new project, to develop new facilities in the Garden, for completion by Spring 2022.
Community workshops and support in 2022
Volunteers are crucial to the success of the year-round programme of creative workshops and community events at Dalston Curve Garden, including regular art-based holiday activities for children, cookery workshops, our annual Pumpkin Lantern Festival and our Festival of Light.
We are currently accepting new volunteers who are interested in helping out on Tuesday mornings, with our community support programme for older people, to start as soon as possible.
If you would like to get involved with any of the above, please complete the form below and we will be in touch with you to let you know what happens next.
