Buzz & Bloom Volunteer 2026

Location:
Grow Wilder, Bristol
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.
