Volunteering Opportunities for Community Growing
Page updated on: 16/08/2024
Across Carmarthenshire, there is an increasing number of volunteering opportunities available to those wishing to participate in community growing schemes. There is evidence supporting the idea that growing your own produce can have benefits for both people and the planet, whether through improved physical and mental wellbeing or by reducing the number of food miles on our plates.
This resource has been published to highlight the range of volunteering opportunities to grow in your community, rather than promoting specific organisations. Please note this database was created in May 2024.
It is recommended that anyone seeking such opportunities should contact the organisation directly.
