Beekeeping Volunteers Wanted

We’re currently looking for enthusiastic beekeeping volunteers to join the Walled Garden Project and help care for our hives and support honey production.
Although no prior experience is necessary — full training is provided, we are hoping you will want to be part of our existing beekeeping team and be enthusiastic about seeing this part of the Walled Garden Project grow and thrive.
Our honey is sold during Open Wednesdays, with all proceeds going directly towards supporting the Walled Garden Project — a volunteer-led initiative based in our historic Capability Brown-designed Walled Garden.
