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.

Join this opportunity for youth who are 14 and older to help out in the Children’s Garden during two special Saturday events.

• Tending to a Kitchen Garden, March 1, 10am-1pm
  • Learn about edible plants by helping our team care for the raised beds, enjoy a seasonal tasting tour of the Kitchen Garden, and take a small harvest home.

• Exploring the Sensory Garden, April 5, 10am-1pm
  • Why and how do plants make scents? Make sense of the scents by helping our team care for the Sensory Garden and make a small bag of tea to take home.

Register for one or both events by completing the Youth Volunteer Registration Form.

We are currently recruiting new volunteers to serve as ambassadors of our vital living collections, engage visitors at interpretation stations, and serve as rovers at the Botanical Garden and Conservatory of Flowers. The next training sessions will take place on five Tuesdays, April 15-May 1, 5:30-8pm.
