Master Gardeners working at North Road in Mid Wales

Supporting volunteers

An extremely important part of the Garden Organic team is our network of dedicated UK volunteers who work hard to promote the organic growing message in their local communities.

We work with sectors including education, healthcare, local authorities, Public Health, NHS, housing associations, businesses and community groups to provide support for volunteer champions in your setting.

We know people are best influenced by family, friends, neighbours or work colleagues who understand their circumstances and local needs – and it’s for these reasons our volunteers provide a unique and vital role.

Our volunteers

Our volunteers are from many backgrounds and age groups, but their unifying feature is their enthusiasm for organic growing, composting and waste reduction. They are brilliant at engaging with and making a difference in their neighbourhood.

The volunteers assist with event preparation, training and resources – and they’re available for a chat and a cup of tea when required!
