"Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in." - Marjorie Moore
At Fabric Community Garden, volunteering goes beyond tending to plants; it fosters togetherness and community. Here are five benefits volunteers experience by being a part of this vibrant garden: Community Bonding: Volunteering at Fabric Community Garden provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with others who share a passion for gardening and sustainable living. Through shared experiences and collaborative efforts, volunteers form meaningful friendships and bonds that extend beyond the garden gates. Friendship and Support: Working alongside fellow volunteers cultivates a supportive environment where individuals can share knowledge, exchange ideas, and offer encouragement. These friendships not only enhance the gardening experience but also provide a valuable support system, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Food Production: As volunteers nurture the garden, they contribute to the production of fresh, organic produce. This not only promotes sustainable living but also provides volunteers with access to nutritious fruits and vegetables, fostering a healthier lifestyle. Wellbeing: Spending time outdoors and engaging in physical activity has been shown to improve mental and physical wellbeing. Volunteering at Fabric Community Garden offers volunteers a chance to unplug from the stresses of daily life, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening. Boosting the Local Community: By participating in garden activities, volunteers play a vital role in enhancing the local community. Whether through providing fresh produce to our foodbank, hosting educational and family days or beautifying the space, Fabric Community Garden volunteers contribute to the overall wellbeing and vitality of the community. Volunteering at Fabric Community Garden offers a plethora of benefits, from fostering friendships to promoting wellbeing and sustainability. By coming together, volunteers not only enrich their own lives but also make a positive impact on the broader community. We meet most Thursday mornings 10am until about Noon. Want to pop along?
