We're looking for a few budding gardeners (or total novice's) for a sunny afternoon (12pm-1.30pm) to help us look after the plants growing in the planters on Malet Place.

We'll be led by IOE Associate Professor, Susan McGrath and use tools provided by our partners at Tivoli to look after some of the plants we have on campus!

Volunteers do not have to stay for the entirety of the time, but it's a great opportunity to get away from your studies or work and make some new friends. Plus you're contributing to UCL's sustainability efforts as part of the Wild Bloomsbury campaign.

We'd like to split the event across 3 different volunteering groups across the 1 hour and 30 minute event, so please click on your preferred timeslot in the tickets section. However, volunteers are welcome to stay longer if the other timeslots are not filled.

Do bring something warm and waterproof in case the weather turns. Wear something you don't mind getting a little dirty with soil, and please bring some water.

No prior gardening skills are required.

There are limited spaces so book on quick to avoid dissapointment.
