Location

Date and time
10:00 - 11:30Who this task will support
GROWGROW in Totteridge have asked for our help to dig 32 holes, 60cm deep by 50cm wide, to help support their new polytunnel. It's a nice, quantifiable workout for a Saturday morning.
We'll join a small group of volunteers and the farm manager, Chris at GROW - here's a map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Kmo6SPgVmuLzhY7f6
No equipment needed - they can even provide wellies if the weather's a bit soggy. But bring your own trainers/boots if you want.
We should be done within 90 minutes. It's a great place to visit as well!
About GROW
From their website:
At GROW, we see the farm as a living system—where healthy soil, thriving plants, and local people all play a part in shaping a fairer, more connected food future.
We cultivate vegetables, herbs, flowers, fungi, and fruits for schools, the community, and education. We care for the land with a focus on biodiversity and natural balance. Our chickens and bees support natural fertilization and pollination, and provide valuable learning opportunities. Each year, we welcome hundreds of people through volunteering, programmes, and events.
By supplying local schools and embedding social justice in our food system through a solidarity pricing model, we make nutritious and sustainable food accessible to everyone, not just the privileged.
We are dedicated to creating a resilient, equitable, and accessible farm, open to all.
