We love our public volunteers and need your help. Please sign up for the upcoming annual garden tour and attend a recommended orientation and garden training session approximately two weeks prior to the scheduled tour date. Your volunteer participation and expertise makes our tours a success with both the garden owners and the touring public. Sign up for your preferred shift. You will receive a free pass to tour the gardens during you off-shift and an invitation to a post tour “thank you” reception/ party.
Volunteer positions include garden docents/ specialists, garden greeters, tour day ticketing, and garden parking management.
