Volunteering
Would you like to volunteer in the Garden? We periodically have spaces available to volunteer with the Garden Team and ask for volunteers to ideally have, or be studying towards, an RHS Level 2 horticultural qualification (or equivalent).
We ask volunteers to commit a day each week to join in whatever seasonal task is to hand, to have a passion for horticulture, a desire to learn and an eye for detail.
If you are interested in finding out more please contact the Potting Shed.
