Gardening and Park Maintenance Volunteer

Love being outdoors? Join our friendly volunteering sessions and help keep the park looking its best.

This is a fun, physical and social opportunity to support the parks team with the ongoing care and maintenance of the park. You'll be part of a diverse group of volunteers, led by our experienced park gardener.

As the season change, so do the tasks, from weeding and general upkeep to seasonal planting days.

Volunteers also have their very own community planter, giving you the chance to decide what to plant and how to care for it throughout the year. Whether you're an experienced gardener of just keen to learn, there's a role for everyone.

Come along, get active, meet new people and help make the park a place the whole community can enjoy.

The four year project, which started in Spring 2022 will use the heritage of Victoria Park to create a more inclusive space where local people can improve wellbeing, increase learning and access new opportunities. With the creation of new buildings and infrastructure sympathetic to the park’s landscape and history and the help of a team of volunteers, we are delivering a programme of exciting events and activities to build a community in the park.
 

Don't forget you can add up any volunteering hours as part of Team 100 Opportunity - Hive Portsmouth or part of the Donate 100 things challenge Opportunity
