The purpose of the meeetings are to keep up to date witb events occuring within the park and its environs, liaise with our PCC liaison, councillors and other stakeholders. Other purposes may include planning events and fundraising activities. Some committee members choose to adopt specific roles, such as working on the charity's social media, or events planning for example. However more manpower and skills are always needed. If you are interested in joining the committee, email: plymouthdevonportpark@gmail.com. 

The Devonport Park Volunteer Gardening team

The volunteer gardeners work alongside the PCC paid gardeners to help maintain the flora and fauna within Devonport Park. They meet every monday, from 10am until 3pm (or less if needed), at "the training centre", located near to The Lower Lodge, next to & just inside the Fore Street entrance of the park. Volunteers of all levels of capability are welcomed and work may involve repotting seedlings to digging out a new flower bed - depending upon ability and choice.
