The garden volunteer team have worked enthusiastically to restore the Workhouse Museum gardens using the best combination of historical planting and modern horticultural techniques. The Workhouse garden is an integral part of the visitor experience of the museum. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your interest in gardening and horticulture and knowledge for the practical tasks within the role.
Some understanding of gardening would be useful as would the ability to volunteer as on own initiative and follow instructions.
