Nursery Maintenance at Broadley

You can help with many things, from tending the beds to watering the young trees. The tasks change with the seasons from seed processing in the autumn to pricking out seedlings in the spring. We have a polytunnel so we can carry in on the dry when there's rain around. There's something for everyone. And if you have a family your children are more than welcome to join us too!

There's a timber framed hut, with a log burner, for getting toasty on those colder days - when social distancing allows! We also have a new composting loo so you won't get caught short.

Please check our website for details on volunteering and if you're new to us it would be great if you can fill in a volunteer registration form. We have some copies at the nursery too.

You can choose to join us for a whole day, a morning, or an afternoon - whatever suits you best.

To book a space, you can either book a ticket via this page, or contact Holly Stewart on 07939953289 by 3pm the Monday before. Please let Holly know how long you are planning to stay for. Please also let Holly know whether you have any medical / access / additional needs we should be aware of.

We can provide hot drinks, but please bring your own snacks, lunch (if you plan on staying all day) and sun cream if it is sunny. Please wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing.

If you have any symptoms of Coronavirus, even a persistent cough, raised temperature or loss or change to your sense of smell or taste, please do not come!

Broadley Farm is one mile south of Diptford village which is best approached from Avonwick or Shorter Cross on the South Brent to Totnes (Old Plymouth) Road.

In the centre of Diptford drive downhill on the lane off the main route through the village between the Old Bakehouse, now a private cottage, on your left and what passes for a village ‘green’ on your right. A blue sign says ‘unsuitable for heavy lorries’. This is a long lane and over a mile down it you will pass cottages with bright green paintwork on the left and then you will reach a T junction with a sign to Broadley on the gate opposite.

Turn left then quickly next right up a short hill and the nursery is on the left at the brow of the hill.

There is parking on site. Parking is limited, so please park next to the bridge if not available at our site. Please do not park in front of the cottages or next to Broadley Farm.

The closest post code is Broadley Farm, Diptford TQ9 7NJ.
