Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust
- VO101161
Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust is responsible for preserving and maintaining Kirkcaldy Old Kirk as a community venue, heritage centre and community music hub. The Trust is looking for a volunteer gardener to help with maintaining the garden. The external flower beds provide an area for quiet contemplation and people enjoy viewing them when they pass the church. The kirk also rents out space to a local café and they have a “secret garden” which can be used by customers.
If you enjoy being outdoors and gardening this could be the ideal role for you. Volunteers can be involved in activities such as weeding and general maintenance of the flower beds in the garden, as well as having the opportunity to use their creativity to design the layout of the garden and use different approaches to planting.
