Dedicated to preserving and showcasing the beauty of nature in the heart of the city, Birmingham Botanical Gardens is looking to expand its volunteer programme after demand grows to join its team.

A team of over 70 volunteers already contribute their time and expertise across all departments, with many playing a key supporting role within the horticulture team to care for and maintain the charity’s global living collection.

As part of the Gardens’ plans to grow its volunteering programme for a broader range of interests, skills and experience levels, there are also vacancies in four other departments. This includes opportunities to support the exciting events programme, provide a warm welcome to school and community groups, and help out in the Gardens shop.

Volunteers at Birmingham Botanical Gardens benefit from gaining hands-on experience, sharing skills and meeting a wide range of people who also wish to connect with plants and nature, while supporting one of Birmingham’s most treasured green spaces.
