Vandalorum started a volunteer program linked to the garden in 2023, with three main purposes: social sustainability, self-creation and collective education. The volunteer program has participants from different generations from all over southern Sweden, who meet weekly and share experiences, knowledge and socializing.
The program is led by Vandalorum's gardener and educator Gunhild Øibakken Pedersen and museum director Elna Svenle. The volunteers get to see Piet Oudolf every time he is on site. Among the participants you can find landscape architects, garden designers, gardeners and dedicated hobby growers.
