One off - Donations of gardening books needed!

Boathouse 4 is building a small community library for their amazing volunteers, and we’d love your help! By donating gardening books, you’ll be supporting a space where volunteers can learn, relax, and share ideas that make our green spaces thrive.

They are looking for books on gardening, especially heritage gardening is requested. Unfortunately we cannot take any magazines or houseplant books. 

This is more than just books—it’s about creating a sense of community, encouraging sustainable practices, and inspiring everyone who gives their time to keep our environment beautiful.

If you have any gardening books you no longer need, please consider passing them onto our desk. Your donation will make a real difference!

Portsmouth Together is the city's dedicated volunteer centre, bringing communities together through the power of volunteering. As a citywide partnership, we inspire, connect, and support individuals and organisations to make a lasting impact across Portsmouth. Whether you're looking to volunteer or seeking volunteers, we're here to help you make a difference.
