Angel Gardeners

Our Angel Gardeners are back in 2025!

Our Angel Gardeners had a group of volunteers who committed not only to help with some planting, but to do some occasional upkeep.

In 2025 they refreshed the giant planters at the Bridge St Bus Depot, as well as along upper Bridge St. They completely transformed the gardens outside Nelson Library along Halifax St by spreading out the clivias. Then across the road, outside the old petrol station, they gave that garden a bit of tending (after it was planted in Spring Clean 2024 – it’s looking mighty pretty!). They also tidied up the planters pots in Montgomery Arcade.

It’s pretty obvious that a little garden goes a long way in giving the city some colour, as well as a bit of parsley being extremely helpful for giving your dinner some fresh flavour.

Angel Gardening isn’t just about volunteering some time to put in some plants. It’s also about being willing to commit to making sure the garden flourish – maybe emptying your water bottle on a thirsty plant once a week, giving the bed a quick tidy when you see some weeds popping up, and generally taking notice of how plants are doing.
