Volunteer Update and Activities: January 2026

Happy New Year!!

Thank you to everyone who came to volunteer in the Waterloo Seafront Gardens during 2025.

December was a quieter month for us, with just one event on the 13th when we had 12 volunteers (plus 3 dogs and one cat!) at our litter pick and then in the afternoon, 8 of us planted approximately 3,000 bulbs in Potter’s Barn.

Some dates for your 2026 diary!!  Our regular sessions will take place on the following days, with the venue to be decided and published nearer the time:

2nd Tuesday of each month at 10.00am – garden maintenance;

2nd Saturday of each month at 10.30am – litter picking;

3rd Sunday of each month at 2.00pm – garden maintenance; and

4th Wednesday of each month at 1.00pm – garden maintenance.

The dates for January 2026 will be:
