Who we are
The National Botanic Garden of Wales is a leading charity dedicated to the advancement and sharing of knowledge in the science and conservation of plants. It aims to enhance understanding of the interaction of people, plants, landscape and the environment in a sustainable future. As part of its diverse research, horticultural and education work, it advances public appreciation of Welsh culture and heritage and contributes to national efforts to create a prosperous, resilient, healthier Wales.
The role
We are delighted to invite enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join the Board of Trustees at an exciting stage of the organisation’s development, including celebrating its 25th anniversary. We are seeking to appoint a Chair of Trustees and four new Trustees ahead of the retirement of the current Chair later in 2025.
Join the National Botanic Garden of Wales, a dynamic and impactful organisation committed to evidence-based science, sharing our knowledge of plants and inspiring people’s appreciation of flora, Welsh culture and heritage.
As a Trustee you will play a pivotal role in steering the organisation and leading its growth and shaping its direction to be a trail blazer benefiting society through its inspiring estate, science discoveries and the ways it influences people to value plants and nature and enrich their lives.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with knowledge and insight in the following areas:
– Finance including income generation, commercial development and entrepreneurialism.
– Visitor experience, tourism and marketing
– Communication, media and influencing.
We would also welcome opportunities to build on our strengths in science, horticulture and education. Applications would be valued from people with a disability and other people who can bring a richer diversity of lived experience to the board.
