Every year Margam takes on volunteers to help with specific projects and this year, the park is seeking gardening enthusiasts. If you have a few hours to spare each week and are interested in gardening, then why not consider volunteering at the park. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

All volunteers will work closely with Gary the Gardener and will have the chance to undertake a variety of different projects. Jobs will include pruning, weeding, planting, and edging. Training will be offered as will also the opportunity to practice old skills as well as pick up new ones from the rest of the gardening team. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
