Springtime Planting in Holy Jerusalem

About Program
Join us in the most beautiful garden in Jerusalem for a short (7-14 days) volunteering opportunity as part of a Working Holiday.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to help the small gardening team at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens to care for the 30 acres of native and international plants. You will need to be fit, reliable and willing to get your hands dirty. The work is physically tiring and there will be laughs, companionship and new experiences by the bucket-load. Our volunteers are all ages and share a common interest in the environment and conservation.
We're not planning a working holiday this year, but please sign up to our mailing list so we can let you know what's happening at the Gardens and when the next holiday will be. Thanks
