We are looking for volunteers to help us maintain the beautiful gardens at Dyffryn. Tasks are wide-ranging, and we have different days and roles to offer:

 

  • Walled garden volunteers will maintain the productive areas of the garden, working alongside the walled garden supervisor to learn about fruit, vegetable and cut flower cultivation.

 

  • Nursery/Glasshouse volunteers will help to care for a varied botanical collection to high standards both in the display glasshouse and behind the scenes.

 

  • We have many opportunities available for general garden volunteers. You can be assigned to work in particular areas, or take part in group tasks. You will be working alongside our trained horticultural staff to maintain the gardens to a high standard.

 

  • We have an exciting new volunteer role available for any DIY enthusiasts: handyperson volunteers are needed to help us repair, restore and maintain garden furniture and features, including benches, trellis, paving and fencing.

 

We ask for a regular weekly commitment (special circumstances and holidays will of course be worked around), and roles can be half day or whole day sessions.

 

We are currently looking for people to help every week day except Wednesdays.

 

We are a friendly team, with lots going on to keep you interested, and plenty of new people to meet. We’re always glad of an extra pair of hands, so please do get in contact if you would like to get involved.
