Tower Mustard volunteer training
About
Join this exciting project to save one of London's rarest plants - Tower Mustard!Come along for this two hour training session to learn about Tower Mustard, learn how to grow it (it's very easy!), and receive your growing kit including wild Tower Mustard seeds, plant pots and wildflower compost. Once the training is over you will take your growing kit home and grow up to 10 plants and look after them throughout the spring and summer. At the end of the summer you will bring the plants back to us and will have the option of joining planting days to plant them out into the wild at special sites across south west London. You will need a small amount of outdoor space to grow the plants - this can be a windowsill, balcony or garden. This opportunity is open to all - no previous plant growing or nature conservation experience needed!
Please get in contact if you have any questions, or if you would like to be involved in the project but can't make the training date.
We hope you will join us as a 'Tower Mustard Guardian'!
This project is a collaboration between Citizen Zoo, Habitats & Heritage, London Natural History Society, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Barnes Conservation, Wimbledon & Putney Commons, London Borough of Hounslow and Lampton Countryside Rangers, Historic Royal Palaces and Lesnes Abbey Woods and is funded by the Mayor of London's Green Roots Fund and Thames Water.
