At St. Mary Hornsey Rise, we believe in nurturing both our community and our environment. Our "Tollyrise Happiness Garden" is a testament to this belief, providing a serene space for growth, learning, and connection. We invite you to be a part of this green initiative!

Every Tuesday from 12 PM to 2 PM, join us for our weekly gardening volunteering sessions. Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting out, everyone is welcome to help cultivate our beautiful garden.

Why Volunteer in the Garden?

Gardening at Tollyrise Happiness Garden is more than just planting and weeding. It's about fostering a sense of community, promoting well-being, and connecting with nature. Our garden serves as a place where people from all walks of life can come together, learn from one another, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening.

What We Do

Each week, we focus on different aspects of gardening, from planting seasonal vegetables and flowers to maintaining the garden beds and pathways. Our activities vary with the seasons, ensuring that there's always something new and exciting to do. Some of the tasks you might help with include:

• Planting and Harvesting: Get hands-on experience planting new crops and harvesting ripe produce.

• Weeding and Pruning: Help keep our garden looking its best by removing weeds and pruning plants.

• Composting and Soil Care: Learn about sustainable gardening practices and help maintain our compost system.

Grow Your Knowledge

Our sessions are led by experienced gardeners who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. However, Tollyrise Happiness Garden is a collaborative space where everyone can contribute ideas and skills. Each session is an opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy the company of fellow gardening enthusiasts.

Dig In!

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, we welcome you to join our weekly sessions. Come enjoy the fresh air, get your hands dirty, and make a positive impact on our community. Together, we can cultivate not just a garden, but also lasting friendships and a sense of purpose.

We look forward to seeing you in the garden on Tuesday!
