Silverburn Park in Leven are looking to expand their group of gardening volunteers.
If you join them, you can expect to be a part of an exciting moment in the walled garden’s life as it is currently being fully renovated. Volunteers can get involved with activities ranging from propagation, planting, pruning, and wildflower meadows, to woodwork and creating paths.

Silverburn Park also holds weekly workshops in conjunction with SRUC revolving around propagation, and these are held Friday afternoons from 1pm.

As a volunteer, you can spend time in the park, see the flax mill being restored and feed the local squirrels. This role is ideal for you if you love gardening and nature.

Experience required

None at all, just a love for gardening and nature.
