Woodland Kitchen Garden Volunteering

This Autumn, we are focusing on volunteering in our woodland kitchen garden at Old Wood Organic Farm in the Old Wood, an ancient woodland in Skellingthorpe, Lincoln.

This beautiful ancient woodland is rich in native oak, lime and hazel and in spring the woodland floor is carpeted with wildflowers including bluebell, orchid and lily-of-the-valley. It also has a fascinating history, having once been a haunt of the Vikings.

People join our woodland volunteering for various reasons, including wanting to contribute to climate action and grown healthy organic vegetable for the community whilst enhancing your own physical and mental health and wellbeing.

You'll learn how to care for the woodland garden throughout the autumn/winter season, maximise its resources, and participate in all phases of sustainable woodland gardening. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, connect with others, and enjoy the natural environment.

* There is no vehicular access to the farm.

To join these sessions you can reach the farm by circular cycle track within the wood links to the SUSTRANS National Cycle Network, Route 64, making this a great destination for cyclists.

We also provide a free mini bus pick up and drop off service:
