Fresh air, friendly faces and a simple way to connect while caring for your local area.
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
• a proper break from your desk
• fresh air and time outdoors
• a chance to meet people from other Waterloo businesses
• doing something practical and positive for the local area
• a free Lower Marsh Market lunch voucher as a thank you
