Volunteering in the Botanical Gardens working with trained horticulturalists

FSBG are looking to increase the number of volunteers who have been working in partnership with Parks staff over the last 6 years within the Botanical Gardens. The volunteering opportunity is based on the principle that Garden staff provide the direction and day to day management, while volunteers contribute their time, flexibility and specialist skills. 

How can I volunteer?

 Volunteers will dedicate either one full day or one half day per week to helping at the Botanical Gardens, Singleton Park, Monday to Fridays only.

Volunteer within the Botanical Gardens will be supporting the work of the trained horticulturists by helping out with the basic maintenance of the Botanical Gardens plant collections and the general upkeep of the Botanical Gardens. This is a unique opportunity to work with the diverse plant collection within the Botanical Gardens and gain new knowledge and skills.

Activities will be under the direction of Parks Department staff.

If you have an interest and skills in horticulture and would like to become a Horticultural Volunteer  supporting  the work of the trained horticulturists. 

Monday to Friday, half or full days.
