Volunteer opportunities

The Friends of the City of Swansea Botanical Complex are looking for volunteers to join their team of till operators.  This team works on a rota basis where two trained operators are in attendance when the Community Plant Shop is open to the public.  No horticultural knowledge is necessary but experience of customer service and cash handling is an advantage.
