The Kyneton Community House is seeking some keen green thumbs to help keep its community garden in tip top shape.
Garden co-ordinator Jo McErvale said they’re looking for anyone who has some spare time during the week and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty.
“There’s this whole area that’s sort of laid waste and needs to be rejuvenated, so we’ve got a big job ahead of us,” she said.
“We’ve already been overhauling the front garden by weeding, planting, mulching and composting through winter, so that’s starting to come alive.”
She said she already has a dedicated team of volunteers, but as the weather warms up, there’s plenty to do in the garden and more hands are always needed.
“We’ve got a couple of people, but really it’s a massive job to keep this garden going … so it’s nice if we can get some extra hands to get the place in shape,” she said.
“A lot of the success we have is heavily dependent on volunteers helping out and tending to what we have growing.”
While the house is looking for some extra help on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9am and 3pm, Ms McErvale said the times to volunteer can be flexible.
If you’d like to volunteer, you can contact the Kyneton Community House on 5422 3433 and fill out a volunteer pack to help out.
