Apply to Volunteer

From helping at events to becoming a Tour Guide—and everything in between, our volunteers are an integral part of our team and we couldn't run the Garden without them! Whether you have an occasional couple of hours or regular amounts of time you can spend with us, the Garden offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for all our members.

Simply fill in your name and contact information and check your areas of interest. We will enter your information into our volunteer database and contact you when opportunities arise that might be of interest to you.

If you prefer, you may also print out the Adobe PDF (pdf) 2010 Volunteer Application and deliver it to Tour Coordinator Stephanie Moss at the Garden.

(Highlighted items are required.)
