Plant and build a dead hedge for the new pond at the Forest Food Garden
Join us Wednesday 18th March, 1–4pm to help plant and create a dead hedge around the new pond.
It’s a hands-on way to care for our garden and enhance the space with the new pond.
We’ll be working alongside Paul, our practical garden tutor, whatever the weather — come rain or shine (but not in very strong winds!). Come along for as little or as long as you'd like.
Staff are encouraged to use their volunteering leave to take part.
Things to bring:
-
Secateurs, shears, or loppers (tools provided if needed)
-
Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear (wellies and waterproofs available)
-
Water and sunscreen
-
Gardening gloves (spares available)
For questions or to register your interest, please contact Perpetua Kirby at p.kirby@sussex.ac.uk
