If you are interested in gaining some work experience in a botanic garden setting, please contact the Higher Education Officer at education@botanic.cam.ac.uk to discuss the options.
Work experience could take the form of short volunteering periods or longer placements. From plant conservation, to biodiversity surveying, to records and herbarium specimen data basing, there are a large number of areas where you could get involved. Employers are always on the look out for students with varied work experience on their CVs and the Cambridge University Botanic Garden could provide you with an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in a wide variety of areas.
