Read about Garden Volunteer

Do you enjoy keeping active, finding out about the conservation of our grounds, its wildlife and learning some new gardening skills? This volunteer role is based mainly at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage but can include sessions at any of our Shakespeare sites. You will be supporting the wider Gardens Team and helping them with day-to-day tasks at the properties. Typical seasonal tasks include assisting with planting, pruning, deadheading and weeding. Training will be provided for all tools, equipment and tasks.

Which skills are we looking for?

1. Good people skills with the ability to talk confidently to both individuals & groups
2. Previous practical gardening skills would be a bonus, but training will be provided
3. A passionate team member, who can also carry out tasks independently to help with garden maintenance and conservation work
4. Ability to follow instructions well
5. Ability to carry out physical work and be prepared to work outdoors in all weather conditions

Our current volunteer day is Wednesday, based mainly at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, from 9.00am to 3.00pm. This may change in the future, so please get in touch if you have any questions.
