Volunteer with us!

The Melbourne Pollinator Corridor is community-driven which means we rely on an incredible team of volunteers to help create and manage it! At the moment we are keen to expand our gardening volunteers to help us continue our work regenerating not only the sites of the Melbourne Pollinator Corridor but also the hearts and minds of the humans living around them. Keen beginners, skilled gardeners, conservationists, landscapers etc are all welcome!

We dedicate a lot of time, effort and resources to our volunteers, doing our utmost to up-skill and train them with whatever they need to feel supported, comfortable, safe and inspired. Growing our volunteer community is just as important as growing our gardens so whether you are wanting to help your community, help our critters or gain experience (or all three!) we would love to have you!

At the moment gardening sessions are being held on Fridays from 10-12 and about once a month on Saturday afternoons. If you can’t make these times follow us on Instagram for future community projects and additional sessions .

If you would like to learn more about our work and approach you can check out our events page and Emma’s book!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
