Group Volunteering

Don’t have enough time to volunteer regularly? Looking for a way to give back to your community while bonding with colleagues? Perhaps you are an educator in need of a tangible way to teach your students about botany. Regardless of your reason, we want to help your organization volunteer with us.

Most service projects involve gardening-related activities and are typically completed within a morning during the work week. These opportunities are offered to many interested community groups, such as schools, churches, and local businesses.

 

Requirements for Group Volunteers:

• All groups must be scheduled through the Volunteer Team at least one month in advance.
• We accept groups of up to 25 volunteers.
• Group coordinator will need to fill out the Group Volunteer Application.
• All volunteers will need to fill out a Liability Waiver prior to their arrival.

 

What to expect when your group arrives:

• Most volunteer projects involve outdoor work assisting our Horticulture Team, but we do have occasional openings for special events.
• Our typical volunteer times are weekdays from 9:00 – 12:00 PM. Let us know if you prefer a different day or time.
• We will notify you as soon as we are able if there are cancellations or if we need to reschedule due to unsafe weather conditions.

 

What do I bring with me?

• Please bring a copy of the Liability Waiver that was sent to you after submitting your Group Volunteer Application.
• Bring water, snacks, gloves, sun protection and anything you will need to be outside for up to 3-hours.
• Dress appropriately for the weather and the task! Please wear clothes that you are comfortable working outdoors in.
