“It has been such a joy to encourage and support new garden owners to showcase their hard work and passion for gardening. Volunteering has brought me closer to my local community and I’ve forged many new friendships along the way.” Hasruty Patel, Assistant County Organiser, London

Inspiring, rewarding, sociable, a joy and a privilege are just some of the ways our volunteers describe their experience as part of our team. We want you to have the same experience, and to get the most out of your role we offer help and relevant training to our new volunteers.
