The Helping Hands Gardening Groups

Join one of the Friends' Helping Hands Groups. These groups are just part of an exciting range of activities and events the Friends run for their members. The Friends support the Botanic Gardens providing financial and volunteer support for projects and events. Love the Gardens? Join the Friends! 
  • If you are interested in joining the Helping Hands please download the Volunteer form (below) or contact the Friends' office on (03) 9650 6398.
  • Helping Hands volunteers meet for half a day once a month on a Wednesday to work (under supervision of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne Horticultural staff) in the gardens of E Gate Lodge and Eastern Lodge at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne Gardens. 
  • Helping Hands volunteers also work in the Plant Craft Cottage garden every second Tuesday, and in Gate Lodge (Friends' office) garden.
