Put your green fingers and horticultural skills to good use and help make Chelmsford Parks the best they can by becoming a Central Park Volunteer. As part of the rejuvenation of Central Park we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help tend the new and existing garden areas.
Lead by our expert garden staff, there will be the opportunity to develop your horticultural knowledge and have the chance to undertake a wide variety of tasks. Projects range from planting out our extensive bedding schemes to tending the new contemporary garden which we are developing by Cake at The Lake.
You will be part of a dedicated team working towards developing this historical city centre park, enjoyed by thousands every year.
Cabinet Member for Parks & Leisure, Councillor Ray Ride said, "Becoming a parks volunteer is a great opportunity to make new friends and keep fit and active. We are so grateful to all of our volunteers who help us look after our parks and green spaces. We support all of our volunteers and are pleased that they can gain new skills whilst doing something they enjoy and that benefits everyone in Chelmsford."
The scheme operates from March to November, 10am to 1pm, and we are currently recruiting for people who can volunteer on Wednesdays.
