Job description

Hidden in the center of historic Canterbury, the beautiful Franciscan Gardens is a heritage site that is home to the first Franciscan settlement in England, established in 1224. The gardens were designed to mimic how they would have looked 800 years ago, with a variety of medicinal, food, and dye plants that have been used since the Medieval times.

We are currently recruiting volunteer gardeners to help us with the general upkeep of the gardens. This volunteer position is perfect for someone with an interest in plants and gardening, but we will provide training as part of the position. 

If you are an amateur gardener hoping to build up your knowledge, or an RHS trained horticulturalist looking to gain more experience for your CV... this is the perfect role for you!

We are looking for a commitment of 2+ hours a week but we can be flexible for the right candidiate(s).

All volunteers receive free entry to the gardens, and a 10% discount in the shop.
