Gardening & Maintenance Week

Projects - Connection - Community

11th – 14th May 2026
with Ramana & Andy

Stewardship & flourishing

An opportunity to come and nourish yourself by connecting to nature and the land, and to support us to Beautify the grounds of Leela this spring time at no cost!

May is about tending what has been planted. This week focuses on maintenance, gardening, and ensuring the grounds and buildings are well-held as the season moves toward summer.

Work may include mowing, repairs, painting, planting, and general upkeep… with time to enjoy the beauty of the land in full spring bloom.

A vibrant, varied week suited to those who enjoy adaptability and a strong sense of collective flow.

Bring a waterproof jacket, warm clothes, and wellies just in case!

Whether you have experience or not, this is a chance to get involved, support Leela, and hang out with like-minded people!

We always have a lot of fun together and there will be plenty of extra goodies.
