Buzz & Bloom Volunteer 2026

As a Buzz & Bloom Volunteer, you’ll take the lead in developing and caring for our pollinator-friendly cut flower beds throughout the 2026 growing season. This hands-on role offers a fantastic opportunity to gain practical experience in sustainable flower growing, learn about pollinators, and support a thriving community of people and wildlife.

You will help maintain three flower beds (3 × 10m) with guidance from the Grow Wilder Land Management Team. Responsibilities include nurturing and tending the beds, harvesting and arranging flowers, creating displays, and designing simple display labels or promotional materials.

The flowers will be used for site events, bouquets, commissioned arrangements, and sales at our on-site veg stall. One bed is already established with native perennials, while two more will be planted with a mix of annuals and perennials.

Grow Wilder is Avon Wildlife Trust’s unique urban growing hub, learning centre and wildflower nursery for Bristol. In our 6 acres site we work with organisations and community groups to maintain a wildlife friendly space to give people of all ages and backgrounds opportunities to connect with nature.

Together we engage a diverse audience through food growing, nature regeneration and conservation courses, wellbeing and crafts activities with which we deliver positive social impact.

Desirable frequency: 1 day a week until early September, on Wednesdays or Fridays until September 2026.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an informal interview at Grow Wilder on a date between 2nd to 6th February.
