A demonstration garden to help Primary aged children and children with additional needs to understand the food cycle.


The Forest School allotment at St John's School needs our help! We've been contacted by their lead volunteer and they need help sorting out some key jobs that their regular volunteers can't keep on top of in their time. They need to clear out the PTA shed, the allotment shed, moving supplies and equipment, as well as weeding, clearing brambles, in the forest school allotment.

Can you give an hour of your time to help? There will some lifting required so be careful to bend your knees when you lift. Also there might be uneven ground so worth wearing sleeves and long trousers to protect skin from brambles and nettles.

They can provide gloves and secateurs to help with the task at hand. Don't forget to bring your head torch as it will be dark on the way back.

Meet at the Quaker Centre for a 2.7km run there and a 2.3km run back. If you need to meet us at the venue we should be there at 7pm and we will meet on the Three Bridges path by St John's Primary School, Portland Road, KT1 2SG. Please use the What3Words location to find the exact spot.
