Volunteer Opportunities on The Farm

Come along to a volunteer event and get hands-on experience of the sustainable, no-dig farming methods I use here at Carisbrooke Flower Farm.

You’ll learn about the seeds and bulbs I plant, how to store and sow them for the best results, and the process of cutting and conditioning stems ready for arrangements. And of course, the best bit – getting your hands dirty and connecting with the soil.

Volunteering on the farm isn’t for the faint-hearted – it can be muddy, tiring, and physically demanding – but it’s also deeply rewarding. There’s something special about working the land, watching tiny seedlings grow into beautiful blooms, and knowing that your efforts helped bring joy to someone through a bouquet or display.

You don’t need any experience, just a willingness to muck in, learn, and enjoy being out in nature.

Whether you're looking to gain new skills, meet likeminded people, or just spend a few hours surrounded by flowers and fresh air, you’ll leave with a sense of pride and maybe even a few petals in your pockets.
