Get involved in our gardening projects to help us transform unloved spaces into thriving growing areas.

Support community development by conduct community conversations, identify needs, resources and gaps in provision, as well as promote opportunities for community involvement.

Join our mobile volunteer team and help bring four vibrant nature anchor sites to life. We’re engaging Islington residents to create a mobile crew of people who are enthusiastic to get outdoors, get involved and make a visible difference across a whole landscape rather than a single plot.

If you have practical skills, nature know‑how, orchard gardening and/or garden maintenance experience, we’d love to have you on board. Just as welcome are those who simply bring energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn on the move.

As part of this flexible group, you’ll support seasonal tasks, habitat improvements, community growing, wildlife projects and hands‑on conservation activities. You’ll meet new people, pick up new skills, and help create greener, healthier spaces for everyone.

If you’re keen to be active, adaptable, and part of creating Islington’s first Nature Neighbourhood that connects people and places, this is your invitation to join the team and grow with us.

Time Commitment: Come to one, some, or all of our monthly sessions:

• Octopus Community Plant Nursery — 1st Saturday of each month, 10am–12pm

• Whittington Park Community Centre — 3rd Tuesday of each month, 11am–12:30pm

• Hilldrop Community Centre — 4th Thursday of each month, 11am–2pm

Design and lead local nature wellbeing walks around Islington's Nature Neighbourhood. Walks take place on Tuesday mornings, and the fourth Saturday of each month and are a great opportunity to get to know the local area, identify unnoticed nature or locations for change. Walk leaders pick their own theme and route between Nature Anchors, with full online training available before you get started.
