Core team community gardeners needed at Millennium Square

Our core team of community gardeners is core to our work in and around the city centre spaces and we are looking to grow the team that supports the gardens in Millennium Square and in Castle Park on Thursdays from 10-2.

The core team is made up of people who are able to commit to 2 of our 4-hour work parties each month and in return learn all about the systems of growing we use to ensure we’re growing good food for people and for pollinators, whilst at the same time building soil health, and planting to support the climate.

The gardens in Millennium Square have been through a difficult time in the last few months, neglected during the lockdowns and vandalised for the first time ever by visiting football fans, so this opportunity to begin with us just got those gardens on a Thursday, although it’s possible other gardens may need support too over the next few months. So if you can spare 2 Thursdays from 10-2 per month, and would like to get involved with Edible Bristol, and our call for community-based change in our food system, why not get in touch? Just drop an email to sara@ediblebristol.org.uk

Millennium Square Work Party

Join us as we continue to grow food available to all in Millennium Square. From weeding, to planting, sowing and drinking tea, our focus is on ensuring there is a plentiful and abundant supply of fresh vegetables and fruit in the gardens for as much of the year as is possible, and the more hands on deck, the better. You don’t need to bring anything other than yourself, water and sunscreen. We’ll bring tools, expertise and anything else needed!!

If you’d like to join us please email us at sara@ediblebristol.org.uk and send us this form filled in with your details, and we’ll get back to you to confirm your space.

Millennium Square Work Party

PersonKneelingHarvestingLavendar

For some time Covid stopped regular work parties in the 5 gardens in Millennium Square but now we are back there 3 times a month, and are able to offer spaces out to folk to get involved. Obviously things are still somewhat different to pre cover times and we are asking anyone who would like to attend to fill in the form below and send it to info@ediblebristol.org.uk and we will get back to you to let you know that you are on the list. There are limited spaces in order to ensure everyone’s safety so it will be first come, first served, but we hope to be able to offer more places soon.

All Millennium Square work parties involve some maintenance of the space, with weeding and clearing quite a large part of each work party, but we will also focus hard on getting lots of delicious veg back into the beds , which is, of course, available to anyone to use. Each work party is facilitated by one of our incredible facilitators who will be able to talk you through the jobs being done, will have tools and everything you might need to get involved. We do, however, ask that you bring your own gloves and hand sanitiser.
