Volunteer(s) needed



There is a childcare  nursery near the hospital and have a couple of patches of land
which we think could be used to grow veg. What they are looking for is a volunteer that would be willing to come maybe once a week to do some gardening with the children,
 this could just be for an hour ? They would cover the cost of equipment, seeds and police check so it would be just time they are giving. I do hope some one
would be interested as I think it is important for young children to learn about where their food does come from.

Interested?
