We work at a variety of locations across the West Midlands, mostly in Shropshire and Staffordshire. They span from the large estate of Attingham in Shropshire to the gardens of Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, from the countryside of Kinver Edge at the southern tip of Staffordshire to Hawksmoor in the north. We also enjoy working in the gardens of Sunnycroft and Morville Hall and across the estates of Dudmaston and Shugborough.
What these properties have in common is that they rely on an army of volunteers to help maintain and improve them. That’s where we come in. The work we do is varied and includes woodland management, hedge laying, scrub clearance, tree planting and gardening. What we don’t do is…anything indoors!
We work in all weathers so if you love working in rain, sun or snow, there is sure to be a workday to suit you during the year.
It’s not all work – we also have a diary of social events throughout the year. Our most popular events include an annual bonfire weekend with fireworks and barbecue and a Christmas weekend during which we eat too much and burn off the calories by working in the woods.
