Volunteers needed!

We are currently looking for volunteers to stay at garden in the cottage in the coming months. 
It's a chance to get away from everything and get in to nature. You will stay at the Walled garden cottage for free and your food will be provided by us as long as you can complete the duties and tasks around the garden which will include feeding all the animals in the morning and putting them to bed in the evening, doing a little bit of work in the garden and helping us, spending time with customers and working in the farm shop and enjoying yourself in the wild Scottish countryside! We like to include our volunteers in our lives as much as possible so in the coming warmer months we have many barbecues and garden parties at the walled garden with friends, neighbours and customers . We also have a Norwegian hot tub heated by a wood burning stove at the garden where you can take a dip on a cool night. In the summer in Dufftown (15 miles away from the garden) there are lots of ceilidh's that we like to attend with our volunteers as it gives them a real taste of Scottish culture. All year round you can take tours of the seven different whisky distilleries around Dufftown on the weekends, you'll get every weekend off, and we'll give you the chance to taste different Scottish food and drink!
So if this sounds like your sort of thing then you contact Jenny and Derek at heronjenny@supanet.com with the header of 'volunteering at the walled garden'. 
We like giving people the opportunity to experience the garden because it is such a magical place to spend your time.
