Become a Volunteer
Volunteers are at the heart of Mycenae Gardens.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, meeting people in your community, and helping care for green spaces, volunteering is a great way to get involved.
Volunteer activities may include planting, gardening, light maintenance, seasonal clean-ups, and supporting community events.
No experience is required and everyone is welcome. Fill in the form below to register your interest, or simply join us on the next volunteering day. You can view our events page to check the schedule.
Adopt a Tree
The trees in Mycenae Gardens are essential to the character and ecological health of the garden. They provide shade, support wildlife, and help create a calm and welcoming environment.
By adopting a tree you help support its care and long-term health. Contributions go towards watering young trees, soil care, pruning, disease monitoring, and planting new trees when needed.
Tree adoption is also a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or to remember someone special.
Adoption packages may include recognition on our website or a small dedication in the garden.
Monthly Contributions
Regular monthly support helps us plan ahead and maintain the garden throughout the year.
Monthly donations help fund ongoing costs such as plant care, tools, wildlife habitat improvements, seasonal planting, and general garden maintenance.
Even small monthly contributions make a real difference and provide reliable support that helps the garden flourish.
By becoming a monthly supporter you help protect and grow this shared community space.
One-Time Donation
A one-time donation can help fund specific improvements within the gardens.
Donations support projects such as new planting beds, tree care, wildlife-friendly habitats, seating areas, and restoration of garden features.
Every contribution, large or small, directly supports the continued care and enhancement of Mycenae Gardens.
Note: We are not registered with the Charity Commission, so we are unable to collect Gift Aid on donations.
Donate Plants & Trees
Help us expand the botanical heritage and biodiversity of Mycenae Gardens by donating healthy plants or young trees.
Note: We accept anything besides buddleja or rowan.
Please be in touch with us to arrange any plant donations. Please do not simply drop off at Mycenae House.
