Horticultural Advice & Support
About Us
The Horticultural Advice and Support team is a group of Friends of Kings Park volunteers who provide expert gardening advice to the public over the phone and by email, as well as undertaking duties to support BGPA Horticulture staff.
Formerly known as the Volunteer Master Gardeners, the HAS team has a long-term history of volunteering in Kings Park.
