Help to create a new wildlife garden at the back of Tolworth Station. In 2022 our team of volunteers built a polytunnel, planted wildflower turf and began building raised beds which will house fruit and vegetables which can be used in Baking Ideas, the community kitchen and meeting space in Tolworth Station. Come along for as long or little as you would like, and you can come regularly or on a one-off basis.
