Corporate volunteering

Volunteers play a vital role at Botanic Gardens of Sydney, working to maintain our iconic landscapes and supporting our world-leading conservation research. Your organisation can help create change by getting your hands dirty alongside the Botanic Gardens of Sydney’s horticulturalists, preserving the Garden's extraordinary Living Collection.

From learning about new plant species and Sydney's unique landscapes, to employing gardening basics such as mulching, weeding, composting, and planting techniques, corporate volunteering is a truly one-of-a-kind team building experience as you reconnect with nature at the Garden.

This unique opportunity for corporate volunteers in Sydney provides a much-needed contribution to conservation research and gives an insider's perspective of working alongside world-class experts on a mission to protect our plants and future. Bonus that the volunteer fee is a tax-deductible donation.

The Botanic Gardens of Sydney is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on the support of its generous donors and corporate partners. The funds raised through our corporate volunteering program are invested in our scientific research, conservation and education programs at the Gardens.

If your organisation is looking for more ways to dig into those sustainability targets, why not get involved with our Gardens through our corporate volunteering program.
