Description

Gardening burns 250 calories an hour – so why not burn some off by volunteering to help transform OxGrow’s Edible Community Garden on the former Corpus Christi Sports Ground? So far OxGrow has:

• Planted 1,000 trees and dug in lots of potatoes

• Made compost bins from unwanted wooden pallets and bicycle inner tubes

• Sown seeds for purple carrot, lettuce, chicory and laned cress

• Sown a wildflower meadow of poppies, cornflowers and foxgloves

Staff and students can volunteer any Sunday from 1‐4pm throughout the year – all tools are provided – just turn up!
