FSBG are limited for space in the polytunnels and the Parks staff only have the capacity to train a limited number of new Horticultural Volunteers at one time.
If you wish your name to be put onto the waiting lists for either Polytunnel Volunteers or Horticultural Volunteers please contact us. You will be emailed when we are able to offer an opportunity.
There are two different types of Volunteer Opportunity
1. FSBG Plant Shop and Polytunnel
We welcome volunteers whatever your level and knowledge of plants. All we ask from you is a willingness to learn, commitment and a sense of humour. Some aspects of this work is physically demanding. Wednesday and Saturday mornings, 4 - 5 hours.
All you need is a packed lunch, a drink and some gardening gloves. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather; extra layers in winter, layers you can shed in summer.
We run a Plant Shop at the Botanical Gardens in Swansea selling trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetables, bulbs and herbs to the public. Each Wednesday throughout the year we meet in the polytunnel just inside the gate of the Botanical Gardens any time from 9:30 am onwards. We open the Shop on a Saturday morning from April to September.
