Green Gym in Haringey

Green gym sessions take place twice a week in community gardens and green spaces in Haringey. Volunteers are invited to take part in practical activities, such as tree and bulb planting, allotment maintenance and food growing, hedge pruning and creating wildlife friendly areas. Unlike other conservation projects, the emphasis is very much on health - volunteers do warm up and cool down exercises in preparation and use more traditional hand tools and techniques. Participants have a choice of activities, so there is something for everyone.

Sessions are free and open to all.
