Volunteer

The Gardens have a wide range of volunteer opportunities that vary throughout the year. Whether you love to engage with the public, work with youth, or help maintain our beautiful gardens, we have a volunteer role for you.

Schedule your team for a day of volunteering at the Gardens. Group volunteer events are a great way to bond while weeding and helping our staff maintain the Gardens.

Mark your calendars for Flower Piano! We are excited to celebrate its 10th anniversary in the Botanical Garden this September 12-21. Volunteer opportunities range from event ushers, piano ambassadors, and helping with wayfinding and welcoming visitors. Volunteer opportunities will be announced in the Gardens’ monthly newsletter, the Leaflet. If you are not yet subscribed, please subscribe here today to be informed of upcoming opportunities.

Nursery volunteers support the Plant Propagation Manager and Nursery Specialist with high-quality propagation and plant care. While we have a limited number of volunteers supporting this program who will begin training and volunteering in July 2025, we hope to expand this program in the future. Future volunteer opportunities will be announced in the Gardens’ monthly newsletter, the Leaflet. If you are not yet subscribed, please subscribe here today to be informed of upcoming opportunities.
