Volunteers are an essential part of our programs. We gratefully accept any individuals or groups from any part of the world who have a willing heart and knowledge/skills to bring to a project.

	You can join us as a volunteer at any time of year you like.
	You can work as a teacher or a helper or mentor on a Horticultural Project.
	You can join us individually or with a group.

Previous volunteers have learned so much from our programs, so we hope this will be a great learning opportunity for you too, not just a teaching experience.
