Do you have a passion for Australian plants? Do you enjoy the outdoors and spending time with like-minded people? Do you embrace the challenge of expanding your knowledge and skills? Does meeting people from around Australia and from overseas sound like fun? Then the Volunteer Guides Program at the Gardens is for you.
Applications are now open. See https://www.anbg.gov.au/gardens/ for details and the application form.
Information sessions will be held on Wednesday 19th September at 12.30pm and Tuesday 25th September at 5.30pm in the ANBG Theatrette, opposite the Visitor Information Centre.
The application and selection process involves a written application and an interview in late November.
No botanical background is required. The Gardens offers a training program and mentorship to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to prepare for guiding.
There are two streams of Volunteer Guide at the Gardens, Walking Tour Guides and Flora Explorer Guides. New recruits can select to work in either or both streams.
