Volunteer

Devon Gardens Trust is wholly run by volunteers. They organise events, undertake research, write articles, record gardens, parks and cemeteries, alert us to conservation and planning issues, manage our finances, and many other activities. Everyone is welcome to see if volunteering is right for them and to do as much or as little as suits them. We provide induction and training. 

We value our volunteers who bring enthusiasm and commitment together with a wide range of skills, experience, ideas, and often another pair of hands.

Volunteers are involved as Trustees, and in all of DGT's activities. We are especially keen to increase our conservation, research and communication teams, but new volunteers are always welcome in all areas.
