Westbury Court Garden

Westbury Court Garden is a beautifully restored Dutch style water garden in Westbury on Severn. The garden boasts one of the country’s oldest oak trees (The Holm Oak) and various ancient varieties of fruit trees.

Jerry, Westbury’s Gardener in Charge, is looking for volunteers:

  • Experienced gardeners to help keep the garden in full glory, especially someone who would be willing and able to take responsibility for the other volunteer gardeners.
  • Garden guides to talk to our visitors and help tell the styory of our stunning site.

If you enjoy working outside in the fresh air, love people and would like to volunteer at Westbury Court Garden, please get in touch on 01452 760461 or email WestburyCourt@nationaltrust.org.uk for more information. We’d love to hear from you.
