Rooted

What is Rooted? 

Rooted is our friendly, hands-on lunchtime gardening programme, bringing people together to care for local green spaces across Waterloo.

Last year, Rooted grew into a welcoming community, bringing together regular volunteers and new faces from businesses across the area. It’s become a really nice way to spend a lunch break, meet people from other local workplaces and play a small but important role in looking after Waterloo’s valuable green spaces.

​

Why you’ll love it
