Get involved
There are plenty of ways to be part of things.
Anyone can help the site along, plot or no plot. For workplace volunteer days, individual volunteering, plot sharing or helping an existing member, start with Volunteer with us.
Lend a hand
Working parties keep the shared parts of the site in good order: hedge-laying in autumn, tidying, building and mending, and the general shifting of things that allotments generate. Working days are announced on the news page and our Facebook page; or email rvascontact@gmail.com and we’ll tell you about the next opportunity to join in.
If growing is more your interest than building, the monthly permaculture workshops are open to all members, and the continuity beds are a gentle way in; see join us.
Schools and community groups
We’ve built bird boxes with children and sent leftover plants to an infant school’s bee garden; we like this sort of thing. If you run a school, scout group or community organisation and the site could be useful to you, get in touch and we’ll see what can be worked out.
