About this opportunity

The National Trust for Scotland is looking for enthusiastic Volunteer gardeners to help care for the beautiful gardens and grounds of the historic Hill of Tarvit Mansion House and Gardens near Cupar. From planting and pruning to sowing seeds and harvesting produce, you'll play a vital role in keeping the estate at its very best all year round. Your contribution helps create a place of beauty and tranquillity for everyone to enjoy.

Volunteering with NTS is also a wonderful opportunity for personal growth-whether by learning new skills, meeting new people, or sharing your passion for the outdoors. You'll have the chance to engage with visitors and support the work of the National trust for Scotland, an independent charity dedicated to safeguarding Scotland's heritage, historic properties, landscapes, and wildlife.
