Jules is an ambassador for Inverewe

Jules has a natural talent for conversation and readily engages with visitors to the garden. She typically volunteers as Inverewe Ambassador once a week during the open season. In this role, she serves as a welcoming presence for visitors, answering their questions and sometimes accompanying them on spontaneous garden tours. With her experience as a garden guide at Inverewe from a few years back, Jules has the expertise necessary for leading tours, which she applies to her ambassador role.

Jules enjoys a flexible schedule in her role, focusing on a few daily tasks while on-site. Each day, she starts by visiting the visitor centre to connect with the team and gather any updates about the garden. This often leads to discussions about which plants are currently blooming, any exciting discoveries, or wildlife sightings. Jules ensures she shares this information with visitors, adding a special touch to their experience.

After her check-in at the visitor centre, Jules typically heads to the walled garden, easily recognisable in her high-vis jacket. Visitors often seek her out, drawn to her friendly demeanour. They come with various questions, eager to learn more about the plants and flowers around them. With her passion for gardening and knowledge of different plant species, Jules can usually provide answers. If asked a question she can't answer, she makes it a point to follow up with the gardening team and relay the information to the visitors before they leave, ensuring a personalised and memorable experience.
