Who this task will support
Parkfield Community Garden
Parkfields offers a space for people to meet, learn to grow food, create habitats for wildlife, observe nature and play. As well as an orchard the site has a polytunnel, raised beds, skill share and natural play space. Volunteers worked to reclaim a bramble and bindweed covered site to create a space for learning and play for the local community. We are aiming to offer sessions for childminders, afterschool childrens groups and weekend courses as well as yoga, art, gardening and permaculture classes

We are supporting Parkfields Community Garden with a regular visit first Saturday morning of every month at 10am. Parkfields are continuing their hard work to create an area for local access. Their objectives are to observe nature, share skills, grow food and play outdoors - and they are making great strides in making this happen but they need our help.

Jobs for this task might include:
- Cleaning, rolling lifting and storing a large black planting membrane (quite heavy) then levelling the ground below with existing woodchip.
- Clearing brambles and nettles from a specific area of the site.
- Transporting 40 paving slabs from a house nearby.
- Digging weeds out of a planting area.

Meet at the allotment gates in the car park outside Barnfield Riding stables.
