Whilst events at Cannington Exhibition Centre are temporarily postponed due to COVID-19,Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society (CAHRS) is instead planning ways to strengthen and renew our Special Interest Group offerings, giving the public and members a ranged of reinvigorated options to be educated, inspired and have fun!

As part of this, CAHRS is currently seeking a plant guru to lead our Canning River Gardeners club.This is a casual, stipend-paying position (helping to cover any associated costs for transport, materials and planning time) that allow someone to facilitate a group on the first Tuesday of the month, 6:30–9PM at Cannington Exhibition Centre. The position won’t start til classes reboot, which will only be when the current COVID-19 situation settles down and it’s deemed safe for both the facilitator and class members to participate.

We’re looking for a Green Thumb to share their love of gardening, know how to keep our plant friends happy and healthy, and enjoy a social, community-oriented environment. Experience with Garden Clubs or exhibiting at a Garden Show is desirable but not essential.

While working closely with our Events Officer, you will also assist with special outings and guest speakers for the group.

In return we offer a stipend payment for participation in these community-focused events, plus CAHRS membership benefits + access to VIP events within our society.

Interested? Please email with the subject line “Gardening Facilitator” and answer the following questions:

• Why do you want to lead our group, and what inspires you about gardening?
• What experience or skills do you have relevant to the position?
• Attach a few photos of your garden or plants/flowers you’ve grown

PLEASE NOTE: As we won’t know when these classes will begin and are operating with restricted staff hours, please be patient as you will likely not hear from us for a few months to come. Hang tight and we’ll be with you ASAP!
