Thank you for showing an interest in Market Harborough in Bloom!

​

We would love to meet you at one of our sessions if you would like to find out more about volunteering.

​

Here's some information about volunteering:

​

WHO WE ARE

We are a group of volunteers who work on gardening projects including the rose garden in Welland Park, planters in the town centre and other areas of the town to create a vibrant, attractive town centre for local people and visitors.

​

WHAT COMMITMENT IS EXPECTED?

Volunteers typically volunteer once or twice a week, usually on Monday and Wednesday mornings. We meet at 9am (BST) in Welland Park through to late morning.

​

DO I NEED GARDENING KNOWLEDGE?

Volunteers do not need to have specialist gardening knowledge, just a willingness to learn and an enjoyment of gardening.

​

WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?

You will need to provide your own gardening gloves and wear sensible work/appropriate footwear and clothing. We work in most weathers. Hi Vis waistcoats are provided for town centre work.

​

ACCESSIBILITY

Every attempt is made to work to the strengths of a volunteer. We know gardening can be a physically demanding activity but we will always try to work in small groups or pairs to ensure we provide a supportive environment for everyone.
