The APGG volunteers

Our Team

Under the guidance of our professional gardening lead Liz Maynard, Alexandra Park Greenhouse Group relies on a team of volunteers for all its gardening know how, plant propagation, events held in the greenhouse, and the day to day running of the APGG charity.

Whether you are passionate about plants, the environment, or helping those in need – we are looking for volunteers like you.

Come and have a chat and lets grow together!

Volunteers

Since 2013, APGG has developed into a focused, professional team with experts in a range of horticultural, administrative and marketing areas.

A new Greenhouse Committee has been formed by our Trustees to develop the future use and management of the newly restored greenhouse. It’s purpose will be to navigate the future of the building in its enhanced state. To organise ensure good site management and encourage new volunteers, to enhance the wonderful work of the valued team we have.
