Our volunteers do lots of different things. Most work in structured physical roles at set times with a supportive staff member, like propagating baby plants as a Nursery Volunteer or harvesting food as a Market Gardener.
Others help with special projects that suit their skills or passions. This could be taking photos at events, editing our website or providing advice as a Board member.
Anyone over the age of 18 can register as a volunteer.
