BTCV : Volunteer : Green Gym : How a Green Gym session works

Friday 16 May 2008

So what happens at a Green Gym session?

BTCV Green Gym groups meet in their local area at least once a week. A Green Gym session lasts for up to three hours.

During this time you will be doing environmental conservation or gardening activities with a trained leader. You could plant a new hedge, cut back an overgrown path, or help build a community garden.

These activities are taken at your own pace, but there is always something to get your heart and muscles working.
