Volunteer at Sydney City Farm in St Peters

Volunteer at Sydney City Farm in St Peters City of Sydney runs Sydney City Farm in Sydney Park as a place to learn urban growing and sustainable food. You can join farm volunteers for two-hour shifts and help beds, nursery stock, and orchard projects take shape. What you can do in Sydney - Sign up for farm volunteer working bees through the council What's On calendar (volunteer for Sydney City Farm) - Attend a 45-minute site induction before your first regular shift, as the council requires - Help on Thursday cropping mornings, Friday nursery tasks, or Saturday orchard and display garden projects when sessions are listed - Explore the farm on a self-guided tour when you want to see the hub before you commit How to join New volunteers complete the council registration form and book a session online when places are open. Shifts are usually two hours. The organiser asks for sturdy shoes, a hat, gloves, and a water bottle. Why it matters in Sydney Neighbours meet while seedlings go in and harvests are shared. Skills from the farm travel home to balconies, courtyards, and community plots across the city. Good to know - Do I need gardening experience? The council welcomes newcomers after the mandatory induction; interest in horticulture matters more than a formal CV. - Is there a fee to volunteer? The volunteer programme pages describe free working bees; check the booking terms for your date. - Where is the farm? Sessions use Sydney City Farm at Sydney Park; the working-bee listing gives the street address in St Peters.
