Volunteering

Interested in joining our team?

We rely on our volunteers to help keep our organization running smoothly.
Currently, we are looking for assistance in the following areas:

  • Docents: You’ll play an essential role in educating the public, campus community, and K-12 school groups about the wonderful world of plants. In-depth training and tour shadowing will take place before you take the lead. Experience working with children required.
    • Teachers, environmental/science educators, and school counselors are encouraged to apply
  • Hosting: Welcoming visitors to the greenhouse or outdoor gardens. You’ll answer guest questions and assist them with way finding throughout our space. No botanical knowledge is required to host. Training will be provided to ensure you’re confident to greet the public.
    • Greenhouse weekend hosting
    • Garden weekend hosting
    • Garden weekday hosting – evenings
  • Events: Plant sales, educational activities, and special community and campus gatherings.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING LARGE GROUP OR CORPORATE VOLUNTEER INQUIRIES.
