About the project:

The Cassiobury Green Gym is a community run organisation who meet every Wednesday from 10am to 1pm to improve an area in Cassiobury Park. You’ll join the friendly team to enable them to manage the kitchen garden, orchard, meadow, pond and flower beds for the benefit of wildlife and park users looking for a quiet place away from the hubbub of the rest of the park.
