Volunteer Gardening at Brantwood

If you love gardening or simply enjoy the great outdoors, we’d love to hear from you!

We are looking to expand our lively group of garden volunteers to help Brantwood realise its plans for further enhancing the gardens and would welcome anyone looking for volunteer gardening opportunities.

Duties will include general maintenance i.e weeding and pruning in addition to seasonal tasks; such as seed sowing, dead hedging, planting, and coppicing.

What’s in it for you?

In exchange for your time and dedication one day a week from 9:30am – 3:30pm Brantwood garden volunteers enjoy:

  • on site parking
  • training/skills development opportunities and craft workshops.
  • morning tea/coffee and cake
  • lunch at the Terrace Cafe
  • summer day-trip to partner gardens or RHS flower shows
  • Estate Walks
  • Friends of Brantwood membership
  • 10% discount in the shop and cafe

For more information, please complete the contact form or email hello@brantwood.org.uk

“Whether it’s companionship, distraction, feeling of community, contributing to a charitable trust; using their skills to enhance Brantwood, or learning new ones, as a team, we make new friends and reconnect with old ones. The volunteers are stakeholders in Brantwood, and we could not do without them.”
