Who this task will support
Surrey Docks Farm
Surrey Docks Farm is run by a charity and provides education for school children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. Our work helps with essential maintenance and helps them keep the farm operating.

After our prep work over the last couple of months in the new community garden, GoodGym have been invited back to help plant the trees in the area we prepared.

Bex, the organiser, is able to accredit volunteers with an AQA in "Planting Trees and Hedgerows" at the end of the session. There will also be tea, coffee and biscuits.

As always, it can get muddy, so don't wear your best trainers. Space is limited, so sign up now!

In a change to our usual meeting point, we will be meeting in the community garden itself at 10am. The garden is right on the River Thames, outside the new community building.

When you arrive, either:

1) If you are coming from the main entrance on Rotherhithe Street, you will need to walk through the farm to the river. If you walk straight into the Farm and turn left up the windy path, you will come to the new building - we will be at the front of that; or

2) You can come via the Thames Path itself, walking along the river until you see the new building and community garden in front.


How are you getting there?
