Garden Volunteer
Come join us in caring for our beautiful Walled Garden. We’re looking for friendly team members to help with planting, weeding, and general maintenance. If you enjoy working outdoors and being part of a team, we’d love to hear from you.
We are always looking for people who can contribute a few hours a week. Gardening experience is a bonus, but not a must.
Please call or email us for any questions.
What our volunteers say:
I visited the Abbey for an open day and was so impressed by the walled garden, its history and its huge potential! It’s a magical setting… I would recommend volunteering at the Abbey garden to anyone who’s interested in getting involved.
