"My favourite thing about volunteering is the great team atmosphere, and in particular the enormous grin most visitors have on their faces when entering the top floor of the mill and seeing the simplicity but might of the gearing and wheels up there!"
The Friends of Windmill Gardens have an active education sub-group that is currently discussing the expansion of our education programme for schoolchildren and young adults.
