There are many other ways to get involved and support the Botanic Garden from volunteering to sponsoring events.

The trainee programme

Each year the Botanic Garden takes on two horticultural trainees to work alongside the horticultural staff. Trainees alternate on a 3 monthly basis between the Gardens and Glasshouses teams.

Volunteering Opportunities

The Botanic Garden has recently started to run a volunteer programme.

Donate to the Botanic Garden

Help support the important work of the Botanic Garden in education, conservation and research.

Work Experience

Due to the large number of requests we get we can currently only offer placements to students at horticultural college where a work placement is a requirement of the course. Safety boots and waterproofs must be provided by the student. Please contact the Department Administrator at postmaster@obg.ox.ac.uk for more information.
