Gardening is Good for You
.....is the new mantra, not only is Gardening Good for You both physically and mentally, so is Making New Friends and feeling part of your community.
Volunteering with a Britain in Bloom Group is known to help to unite communities, improve the local environment, not just with floral displays, but with litter picking, all helping to contribute to a happy community.
Towns and Villages with Bloom groups attract new residents and more visitors.

Gardening skills are very useful but not essential; all we look for from a volunteer is just a willing pair of hands and a friendly disposition.
We usually work each Wednesday Morning 9.15am to 12noon, just come along when you can.
You will find us either in:
St Marychurch Precinct
The Rose Garden on Babbacombe Downs Road or
The Millennium Copse, off the bypass on the left, opposite The Model Village Car Park
