Your role

Volunteers will welcome visitors at the front gate of each garden.  They will check and sell entry tickets, direct visitors to parking (where relevant), and ask visitors their postcode and how they found out about the event.  A Volunteer Information Pack will be provided so that volunteers have a good understanding of their tasks.

​

In addition, we need a few volunteers to assist with assembly, erection and dismantling of road signs that point the direction to each of the gardens.  This task needs to be done in the 2-3 days immediately prior to and after the weekend.

​​

​

When and where 

Each garden will have four volunteers for the weekend (one volunteer/shift).  Volunteers are asked to commit to a 3-hour shift, from either 10 am to 1 pm, or 1 pm to 4 pm, on Saturday 8 or Sunday 9th February.  All gardens are open from 10 am to 4 pm on both Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 February. 

​

The participating edible gardens will be located all across Bass Coast Shire.  Where possible, we will match you with a garden near you.  Volunteers will need their own transport to travel to the edible garden where they are working.

​

Get a free ticket!

In return for volunteering for a 3-hour shift, all volunteers will receive a free ticket to explore the Bass Coast Edible Gardens on the other day.
