Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
The Friends of Horsenden Hill host regular sessions at Horsenden Farm with a range of conservation, gardening, veg growing, and site maintenance tasks.
No prior experience needed - all the instructions and tools will be provided!
At 12pm you can join us for team lunch and buy freshly brewed draft beer at the on-site nano brewery, coffee and pizzas baked in the clay oven or other sweet and savoury treats from the bakery! If pizza is not your thing, that's ok too - feel free to bring your own lunch or snacks. There is free tea for the volunteers at the volunteer centre.
