About the role

Both those who love to garden and those who love to be in a garden do well in this role. The primary requirement is an interest in supporting the Botanical Garden and sharing information about it. Garden Host volunteer a minimum of twice a month. Many volunteer on a regular, weekly basis.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
