Gardens and Estate Volunteering Open Morning

Gardens and Estate Volunteering Open Morning

Come along to our Open Morning on Wednesday 25th November and find out more about our new volunteering scheme.

Whether you’re looking to learn new skills, meet new people or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, we’d love you to get involved with our Garden and Estate Volunteering Programme. 

 Interested? Come along to our Open Morning

Wondering whether volunteering might suit you, or would simply like to know more about volunteering at a UNESCO World Heritage site first? Come along to our Open Morning on Wednesday 25th November, any time between 10.00 and 12.00, and meet the team. It is a relaxed opportunity to ask questions and hear what volunteering at Blenheim Palace's Gardens and Estate involves, with no commitment to join. You are welcome to arrive at any point during the morning, and there will be plenty of time to chat. Please note that you must sign up to attend via the form below and all volunteers must be 16 or older.

 

Sign up to attend

 

What can I expect on the day?

Our Open Morning is an informal information drop-in, rather than a gardening or volunteering taster session. Once you have signed up, you can stop by our gazebo and stay for as long as you like. There is no need to stay for the full two hours. It is a relaxed way to find out more at your own pace, with no pressure to commit.

You will not be volunteering on the day, so there is no need for special clothing or equipment. If you decide you would like to get involved, you can complete our Volunteering Application Form then and there. 

During your visit, you can:

  • Meet the Gardens and Estate Team at our gazebo 
  • Find out about volunteering and the activities available across the gardens and grounds
  • Ask any questions you may have
  • Learn what to expect as a volunteer, including the training provided
  • Find out whether volunteering is right for you, with no pressure to commit
  • Apply to become a volunteer on the day using one of our iPads

What could I get involved in?

You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of activities across our gardens and grounds, including:
 
  • Weeding, watering and deadheading
  • Sowing seeds, potting and planting
  • Glasshouse work
  • Leaf clearing
  • Painting
  • Minor landscaping
  • Constructing tree guards

 

The activities available may vary, and the team will talk you through what’s involved and provide any training needed before you get started.
