Amisfield Preservation Trust
Charity registered in Scotland SC029412
We are a charitable trust that aims to restore and develop Amisfield Walled Garden in Haddington as a community garden and visitor attraction. The garden dates from the 18th century, is 8 acres in size and is owned by East Lothian Council. Since 2007 we have turned the garden from a neglected wilderness into a working garden with flower beds, fruit trees, vegetable beds, together with a greenhouse and polytunnel. We have long term plans to restore the historic garden buildings and develop a cafe and shop.

Current opportunity
Working as part of a team to create a beautiful garden for others to enjoy and spending a couple of hours in the tranquil peace and security of a walled garden.
We welcome individual volunteers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, and parties from primary schools to large businesses wishing to develop team building skills. Why do people volunteer with us? Well, come and try it yourself to find out! There is a lot of satisfaction in working as part of a team to create a beautiful garden for others to enjoy, and Amisfield is a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours in the tranquil peace and security of a walled garden. There are jobs for all abilities, from dead-heading roses or pricking out seedlings to picking fruit and, if you feel like it, the more physically demanding jobs like digging, weeding and trimming hedges.
