The activities run by the Garden’s learning team could not take place without the help of our amazing volunteers. Volunteers help with family activity days, community visits, school visits and also help us run events like Twilight and Festival of Plants. With more and more visitors coming to the Garden and more and more activities taking place we are looking for additional people to join our team. If you enjoy working with children, families and community groups, and are passionate about plants we would love to hear from you.
