A volunteer gardener who has helped to keep a historical park up and running for 20 years says appreciation from visitors “makes all the hard work worthwhile”, as the park celebrates its volunteers.
Gatton Park, near Reigate in Surrey, has been tended to by volunteers for 30 years, who have helped to garden at the park, assist school visits, and run its open days on the first Sunday of each month.
Helen Seymour, who joined the park team in March 2006, said working in the garden was a “chance to engage with our visitors and realise how much they appreciate being able to enjoy our beautiful landscape gardens”.
The park is set to hold a summer party to celebrate the 30-year anniversary.
