Floristry Volunteer for local community charity, Hands of Hope, to support our weekly Flower Subscription project – Hope Flowers – June to October 2025
Do you have a passion for floristry? Do you have 4 hours a week to spare between June and October 2025 to help us launch and deliver a new not-for-profit Flower Subscription Service?
We are an organic Market & Cut Flower Garden based in Hawkhurst – Hope Farm Community Garden. We are a no-dig, Soil Association Accredited community space. Set up in 2016 by the current trustees, we have restored and developed a neglected Edwardian walled kitchen garden and 22 acres of National Landscape land whilst conserving the site’s natural heritage. We deliver programmes aimed at tackling rural isolation, loneliness, and food poverty, as well as improving mental, physical & environmental health for communities throughout Rother, Hastings, & West Kent. We are recipients of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
Due to the success of our Pop-up Farm Shop and Cafe in 2024, we are planning a new, Volunteer-led, weekly Cut Flower Subscription Service supplying on average 20 bouquets per week “Hope Flowers”.
We are reaching out to people with experience or passion for all things flowers and floristy who could help us set up the initiative as well as working with us for 4 hours per week between June and October.
