WWF x GoodGym Oxford: Warneford Hospital gardening

Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature

From 7th April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!

We've been helping regularly in the gardens of the various wards of the Warneford Hospital over the last few years. There is only a tiny gardening team for the whole of the Warneford Hospital site, so it is a difficult to keep it all looking as good as it could.

One of the wards has a newly planted garden which we weeded in the autumn, and now needs some planting done. We may also/instead tackle some restoration of the rose beds. Whichever task we don't do this time we will do on a return visit later this spring.

Please bring gardening gloves. Other tools will be provided, but if you have a small trowel for the planting it could be very useful.

Meeting options:
* Anyone wishing to run to the task as a group please meet in the car park of the Richard Benson Hall, 276b Cowley Rd at 6pm. It's less than a mile to Warneford Hospital, but be warned that it's mostly up hill! We could return through the Lye Valley and golf course for a longer route back to base.
* If you would prefer to meet at the task please meet us on the lawn outside reception at Warneford Hospital at 6:15pm.
