Can You Help?
The Somerset Gardens Trust is a small charity whose members are at the heart of its work. When new members join they frequently complete the “Can You Help?” section of our Membership Brochure and some existing members also do so when renewing their membership. This is enormously helpful as, like all small voluntary charities, we rely on members volunteering to help with our activities, as follows:
- Surveying and recording the history of gardens
- Checking planning applications that may affect Somerset parks, gardens and open spaces
- School and college liaison
- Publicity / public relations
- Fund raising
- Lectures and talks
- Practical gardening projects
- Administrative or clerical assistance
- Computer operations
- Helping to organise events
- Assisting at open days, exhibitions, plant sales
If you would like to help with any of the above or if you have a particular interest, skill or professional involvement in horticulture or landscape design, please either email us at info@somersetgardenstrust.org.uk or write to the Membership Secretary at Harcombes, Trendle Lane, Bicknoller, Taunton TA4 4EG – telephone 01984 656633
