This volunteer role is based mainly at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage but can include sessions at any of our Shakespeare sites. You will be supporting the wider Gardens Team and helping them with day-to-day tasks at the properties. Typical seasonal tasks include assisting with planting, pruning, deadheading and weeding.

2. Previous practical gardening skills would be a bonus, but training will be provided
3. A passionate team member, who can also carry out tasks independently to help with garden maintenance and conservation work
4. Ability to follow instructions well
5. Ability to carry out physical work and be prepared to work outdoors in all weather conditions
