Like to be part of ‘Team Candlebark’?

Candlebark is managed and run by a group of dedicated volunteers…people just like you!

Our nursery is relies on its volunteers for the wide range of nursery operations, including seed collection,  plant propagation, infrastructure maintenance and administration activities. We are always looking for people passionate about our environment to lend a hand, especially if you have skills or experiences that will help us develop and grow.

Currently we are looking for volunteers with plumbing or electrical skills and qualifications, and those interested in developing our on-site indigenous stock and display gardens.  We’re also keen to hear from anyone with office management, administration and/or indigenous plant knowledge and experience who can help out with office administration and retail sales when we are open for retail sales.

Over the coming months we’ll be looking to further develop our site with a new seedling house and are keen to seek funding to replace our rotting patio. To help us plan for the future, we’d love to have our site formally surveyed and mapped. Know anyone who can help?  Let us know!

Volunteering with Candlebark is an excellent way to gain indigenous horticulture experience and an enjoyable way to develop your local native plant skills and knowledge. No formal experience is needed, just an enthusiasm to learn.

To apply to become a volunteer at Candlebark, simply download, complete and send in your application form, or give us a call and make an appointment for a tour and chat.

By volunteering at Candlebark Community Nursery you are directly helping to conserve and enhance our local native flora and wildlife habitat!
