How you help

Volunteers are one of the great strengths of our organization, serving as an invaluable resource in making our programs possible. Volunteers provide the garden with vital support by guiding visitors through the grounds, staffing special events, maintaining the gardens, working in the Visitor Services Office, Garden & Gift Shop and Arboretum Library as well as behind the scenes through a host of other activities.
