Volunteer Stories – Tadeusz Glabus

Gardening volunteer

“I have been volunteering at the park since July 2019

“I worked for a national museum and originally offered to be a trustee here. I changed my mind and decided to do some gardening instead.

“Some would swear that volunteering as a gardener has given them the chance to reconnect with nature on a visceral, primordial level, to find their true inner self and heal the discord in their psyche. Others might attest that the physical and mental stimulation helps delay the cold, clammy hand of death from resting on their shoulder. Me, I’d say it gets me out of the house for a few hours.

“I worked in London for the British Museum and the National Gallery for about 25 years. Took early retirement and live locally with my partner and dog.”
