Volunteer Opportunities in the Gardens

Volunteers play a vital role at the Gardens by assisting in actual gardening, office support, special events, or other activities. You don't have to be an expert gardener or expert anything to be of assistance. Some activities are seasonal while others are on-going. The amount of time you wish to volunteer is up to you. Of course, the Gardens benefit from your time and efforts; and, as a volunteer, you can meet people with similar interests and hone or gain new skills while becoming part of a gardening community,
