WE NEED YOUR HELP - VOLUNTEER WITH THE FRIENDS

Volunteering is rewarding and fun, plus there is no greater gift than the gift of time.  There are many opportunities for members to become more closely involved with the Friends.  You're bound to enjoy the friendship and sense of achievement that stems from this voluntary work. 

If you would like to help, become a Volunteer or call our office today.  Volunteers do need to be Members of the Friends, so if you would like to volunteer and are not a member, join us today.

Helping Hands

A wonderful opportunity to volunteer in the Gardens exists with our Helping Hands Group.  The Friends are seeking volunteers to assist with the enhancement and ongoing maintenance of some areas of the RBG.  Currently the garden at E Gate Lodge is being renovated by the Helping Hands Group.  Work is about to start on the garden at Eastern Lodge and we are looking for some more hands on volunteers.  Volunteers will be required on a weekday for half a day per fortnight from 8.00am to 12 noon.  Please contact the Friends' office if you are interested.
