Volunteer for Plant Heritage and enjoy getting in touch with plant enthusiasts, having access to rare and unusual plants, and simply enjoying plants!
There are lots of different ways that you can get involved and support our plant conservation work, including:
- Group volunteers - helping to organise local events, visits and plants sales
- Local representatives - would you like to be the Plant Heritage contact in your local area?
- Seed collecting/packing volunteers - simply collect and donate seed from your garden, or offer to help with packing and labelling seed. Seed collecting instructions are here.
- Digital Plant Conservation volunteers - who help prepare plant records and photographs for upload to our database, Persephone.
- Office volunteers - supporting the conservation team, digitising our paper records, labelling and sorting photos, helping fundraising activities and our events
- Fundraising volunteers - from holding a coffee morning, to a cycle race or running a marathon, there are many ways to raise funds to support our conservation work
- Collection coordinators - we have a team across the country who visit and support local National Collection Holders
- Plant exchange coordinators - who organise the plant exchange for local members - a chance to receive rare and unusual plants.
