Weeding in Buckland and Portsea

Join our Community Gardener, Matt, and local residents for an hour or two of light weeding, fresh air, and friendly conversation. No experience needed – just turn up and help make the neighbourhood look great. We currently run these sessions in Buckland and Portsea, but get in touch if you want us to do something in your area.

Buckland

You can meet us at the car park on the corner of Hanway Road and Seymour Close, PO2 7DA, every 1st Friday of the month at 10am-12pm.

Portsea

You can meet us at the flower beds outside Sarah Robinson House, PO1 3JA, every 3rd Friday of the month at 10am-12pm.

We’ll bring the gloves, tools and a well-earned cuppa.
