Volunteer Gardener

Overview

Watford, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom

Looking for green-fingered people who like being outdoors and would like to support the local community. We are looking for friendly individuals or groups of people to maintain and uphold the Family Centres gardens, so that they are safe and enjoyable for all to use. We have a variety of gardens across the service, that all offer something different from courtyard spaces, play areas, large gardens and vegetable patches.

We also need people who can support us with minor repairs and improvements to our buildings to keep them working safely and efficiently for staff and beneficiaries.
