Volunteer at Yorkshire Lavender
Every year, many people join us to help take care of our beautiful gardens whilst making new friends, learning new skills and knowledge and sharing a love of horticulture.
During each season, along with general gardening duties, you may be approached by visitors who want to ask questions about general gardening tips but most enquires are about lavender plants.
