*Credit hours are what concessionary
members wanting a garden ‘make-over’ (or ‘Action Day’) contribute to the
project in exchange. At least half of these 8 hours must be completed in a
private garden of another GRO-FUN participant. Full members do not have to
contribute these hours as they will pay a higher membership fee. Action Days
are subject to volunteer availability and dates are subject to change.
NB Action
Day hosts must pay for their own materials (wood, compost, seeds etc). Volunteers
will be asked to bring food to share.
