Are you part of a group or business?
Would you like to spend a day with your colleagues out of the office, getting your hands dirty?
Perhaps our corporate volunteering days could be for you?
We have a variety of manual tasks around the gardens that need to happen throughout the year to keep our visitors happy. These tasks provide a great opportunity for work colleagues to come together as a team and create a practical project in beautiful surroundings – very different to a normal day at the office! Recent groups include Npower, KPMG and Royal Bank of Scotland.
Please note that all gardening volunteers must bring and wear their own safety boots (steel toe cap) when working at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
