Could you offer at least a half a day a week? Would you like to be a volunteer at Birmingham Botanical Gardens?
Volunteers play a very important role in caring for the Gardens and we offer a very warm welcome. We currently have about 55 people coming in to different departments of the Gardens on a regular basis.
Volunteers are allocated to a Departmental Manager and are given guidance throughout.
Gardening volunteers help out with daily horticultural maintenance, including, weeding, sweeping, lawn edging and dead-heading. It would especially, although not exclusively, suit someone who is already a keen gardener or would like to do work experience towards a career in horticulture.
If you are interested in any of the volunteer vacancies listed below, please fill out an application form:
Please return your completed form to the Gardens marked for the attention of the relevant Departmental Manager together with your supporting evidence and CV.
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.
All workers on site are required to wear safety boots and as a charity the Botanical Gardens regrets that it does not have the resources to supply these, so all interested organisations would be required to provide these for each employee to wear on the day.
