Join The Team
As all gardeners know there is never a shortage of jobs to be done in the garden.
From mowing lawns to weeding, cutting hedges to planting new beds there is always plenty to do.
Together with our established team of gardeners our volunteers help us to both maintain and improve the garden.
If you are interested in joining us even if it is just half a day a week please contact us.
Learn New Skills
We try and tailor each volunteers role to their field of interest. So whether you are a avid weeder or looking to learn about all aspects of landscaping, we have a role for you.
Mary is always on hand to share her vast knowledge of latin names and most importantly how and where different plants will grow.
We also have both foreign and local students come to compliment the theory of their courses with practical experience.
