Summary

Horticulture Volunteer - Earlham Hall, University of East Anglia

Detailed description

We're looking for some green-fingered volunteers to help look after the gorgeous grounds around historic Earlham Hall.


If you've got some gardening experience and care about plants, nature and sustainable practices then we'd love to hear from you. You'll sometimes work with our Lead Horticulturalist, sometimes potter about on your own, and we'd love someone who's happy to really take care of some of the beds around this beautiful old hall.


We'd love to hear from you if:

  • You know your way around plants and have some gardening experience
  • You're into sustainable, wildlife-friendly gardening
  • You're happy to take a bit of ownership and pride in your patch
  • You can be flexible with when you come in (no set days or hours)


What's in it for you:

  • Work in historic surroundings with lovely, like-minded people
  • All tools and tea provided.
  • Learn from our lead horticulturalist
  • Work when it suits you
