An open invitation to anyone wishing to participate in the ongoing care of BROOMHILL, connect with others and contribute to the flourishing of this living landscape. Together we tend the gardens, pathways and wider landscape, sharing practical work, knowledge and the experience of caring for a place through the changing seasons. For those who wish to return regularly, our Stewardship Roster offers an ongoing rhythm of participation and reciprocity, including a seasonal share of the garden harvest. This Season: Spring in Full Bloom With spring in full bloom, the gardens are bursting with life and there is plenty calling for our attention! Our focus is on weeding, nourishing the soil, planting summer crops and nurturing the abundance already unfolding. Every helping hand contributes to the vitality of the gardens and the wider living ecosystem.
