Ways to support the garden
We run regular gardening sessions from Spring through the Autumn, and everyone is welcome there whether you're an expert horticulturalist or completely new to the world of plants.
We also need ad-hoc volunteers to run events in the garden, local keyholders to open up the garden in the morning and lock the gates in the evening, and lots of other one-off help.
If you're interested, please get in touch.
Most of what keeps Nightingale Garden up and running is the time and energy of volunteers, but we do have some financial costs. A significant part of our annual expenses comes from insurance for the garden, as well as occasional costs for equipment and for plants.
If you would be interested in making a donation to the garden, please contact us.
