Mottistone Gardeners sacked without warning !

Just that their views don’t align with those of the Trust.

lixy

Fair enough then - face book is not the place for that kind of debate, and volunteers should have known better.

I didn’t make it clear. The volunteer posted on Facebook after they had all been dismissed, not before.

He was speculating that this was the problem as the Trust has refused several times to tell the volunteers what their unacceptable behaviour was.

Could be due to Insurance policy. We have local 'litter pickers' that remove litter around our area i.e. railway station, council offices etc., they have now been told to cease doing this because they are NOT covered on the council insurance policy but can carry on if they have their OWN insurance, what a cheek from the council. Grrr

not rewinding should read to rewilding

One of the team posted on Facebook that they had expressed concerns about the new Head Gardener’s ideas. She wanted to move away from bedding plants and borders not rewinding.

Some of the volunteers decided to leave, others sad they thought that visitors came to expressly for the gardens and wouldn’t visit. The Trust took exception to volunteers expressing independent views.

The Trust is moving from having volunteers in many places.

I suspect it is some Woke idea of the NT.

Where will they find replacements on the IoW?

Interesting. Let's see what develops. Do you already have a clue?
