The Little Potting Club is looking for a gardening and ground maintenance volunteer to help care for a small outdoor space at Whitehall Park in Darwen. The role involves practical, hands-on work supporting the veg beds and green areas, with tasks including weeding, planting, composting, cutting back growth, moving compost and soil, and keeping the area tidy.
This is a good opportunity for anyone who enjoys outdoor work and wants to build practical skills in a supportive setting. No gardening experience is needed, as a volunteer will be there to assist and guide you.
The work can involve some heavy lifting and the use of gardening tools, a drill and other hand tools, so it suits people who are comfortable with physical tasks.
