Become a Volunteer

Sometimes there is the opportunity for volunteers to assist in the garden. We can provide gloves and all the gardening tools you could possibly need, but volunteers should have their own suitable gardening clothes and footwear.

The garden is open most days of the year, and on weekdays the gardener is at hand to get volunteers started and to keep an eye on operations.

Volunteers are most active in the spring and autumn. In the spring, duties include light pruning and hoeing of the cottage and sunken gardens, rose border (pictured) and herb beds. In the autumn, there are leaves to be collected and compost distributed as mulch.  The laburnum walk requires much attention annually to keep it in shape.
