What you will be doing

We need somebody to help our existing volunteer look after the plants in the Greenhouse in our Victorian Walled Garden. We grow small plants for sale at Wallington Farmers Market to raise funds for the Carshalton Community Allotment. We need somebody once a week to help look after the plants; pot them on, sow more, keep them organised, keep the greenhouse tidy etc. Obviously watering is needed daily in hot weather but we don't expect you to do that. Then, once a month a month the plants that are ready for market need to be packed into crates ready for us to transport. If you wanted to help on the sale stall at the market you'd be welcome, but it's not a requirement at all.
