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.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to help in the newly opening Nursery this July. Nursery volunteers will support the Plant Propagation Manager and Nursery Specialist with high-quality propagation and plant care on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays from 9am-12pm depending on their pre-determined schedule. At this time we are recruiting volunteers who can commit to a weekly schedule. To be considered for this volunteer opportunity, please complete a Nursery Volunteer Application.
It is recommend to apply by May 11 —applications will be reviewed starting May 12.
