Halesworth In Bloom
Volunteers Wanted

JOIN US AS A VOLUNTEER

Halesworth in Bloom thrives through our vibrant volunteer community and we always welcome newcomers. Whatever you can commit to will be extremely helpful, whether it is watering a planter regularly or picking litter from a floral display near where you live, or getting involved in the nitty gritty digging and planting.

Our volunteers can usually be found in the Town Park on a Tuesday morning from 10.30, and are always present in the Memorial Garden by St Mary’s Church on the last Friday of the month from 2.30 onwards (weather permitting).

JUST SAY HELLO (they are all very friendly!) and let them know how you would like to help.

Alternatively, we are always grateful for help with the administrative behind-the-scenes jobs – if this is where your talents lie please get in touch as outlined below.

Volunteering is a hugely valuable and rewarding experience for both volunteers and the communities they support, as well as providing an opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people.

 Millennium Green Track
10th Anniversary

10TH ANNIVERARY OF 
HALESWORTH'S MILLENNIUM GREEN TRACK

The Millennium Green is a magical place to explore in all seasons and weathers. Come and find your favourite corner amongst the meadows, woodlands, rivers, ponds, heathland, orchard and along the historic route of the old railway and the even older navigation.

It was created in 2000 from 32 acres of grazing marsh in the flood plains of the River Blyth and the Town River and is situated just downstream to the east of the centre of Halesworth. Since 2000, further land has been added and the Green now spreads over 50 acres (20 hectares).

A superb all-weather track snakes its way through north-south and gives flat access for cycles, mobility scooters and push chairs.

The Green is rich in wildlife, in geology and history.
